Handel Leaded Table Lamp
Both base and shade are signed Handel. It measures 20" in diameter and stands 25" tall. The shade has " Handel 1906 - 20 " stamped on the inside of the upper rim. Referencing Paul Crist's book "Mosaic Shades", the stamp was typically the model number and the diameter. This signature is 100% correct and original to the shade. The base is signed Handel and has a number cast into the bottom. Again, 100% correct and original.
The shade has some of the best glass and shading. It starts off with a fiery red sunset palm type glass with green striations. As it moves down the shade, the green gets more prominent and turns into a lighter red/orange color which fades into a bright green. The leaves are done in a different green with yellow striations. The flowers are a salmon color and the ribbon is done in red. The circles around the bottom are granite red. The tree trunk base is original to the shade. The overall package looks a lot like the swirling peony on page 143 in Paul Crist's book. The base has original patina. 3 sockets with acorn pulls, original teepee heat cap and finial.
