Bradley hubbard mission arts crafts antique slag glass leaded lamp handel era nr

This is just a simply exceptional lamp and i think you can see why. The glass in the shade is the best of the best. This thing is on fire. 11 watt bulbs and look at that coloration. And Its in very good overall condition as well. The base with a very nice three socket cluster all in fine working order, original p and s sockets in the cluster and this is bradley and hubbards most desired bases and i believe to be referred to as a bean pot base. It has the bradley and hubbard telescoping feature (that no other makers used) where the owner can raise or lower the shade to its desired height simply by turning a knob. This is a full sized lamp with the base as pictured 24 inches tall and the shade is 18.5 inches wide. The base weighs a ton and is super well made as most of b and h’s stuff always was. It has been recently rewired with period correct cloth cord and with no metalware damage at all. The shade with very nice glass, please see photos. The leading tight and right throughout and without any missing glass. I see a stress crack here or there as would be expected for a lamp this age and they do not detract from the overall appearance and are very tight. This shade will be around for another 100 years just the way it is and i mention the age stress purely for accuracy purposes. Total i see is around 5-6 which is quite good for a shade that has around 400 pieces in it. This is as arts and crafts as it gets folks.

So when I see your offers, I have to subtract those costs to get to my net. The costs can be up to 250.00 per item depending on the final price. I will be offering my lamps as reasonable as possible so as to 1. Not cause sticker shock like so many other sellers, 2. To sell them and not let my inventory sit around for years on end. Recently I have been putting different lighting on with reserves and no reserves. Please Check out my other items! Some great Bradley Hubbard, Tiffany, Handel, etc. To all potential buyers. Please feel free to. Chances are if there aren’t any, it’s a newer item and you shouldn’t want it anyways. In other words, a minor blemish on some metalwork belonging to a large shade or a 1/16 by 1/16 of a paint flake missing, please try and be reasonable. I always describe the important aspects towards condition reports and sometimes my eye misses what I deem immaterial issues such as the aforementioned sentence. Thanks for your understanding. There are a few things in life we cant do without. Food, water, fire, oxygen, the sun, shelter etc. So when it comes to shelter and necessary light for it, thats where I come in. I believe in living simply and within my means but surrounded by items of great quality. Of and the wasteful utilities that go along with that. So why is it people go out and spend. Not to mention you got the same usage for that entire time period? This makes infinitely more financial sense than the other choice, plus you have a conversation piece in the room and something to be proud of. Also you have more cultural feeling invested in something 100 years old knowing that it can never be duplicated by modern making techniques and knowing there a few, if any, like it left for this world and now its yours. You display it and care for it. So again thats where I come in. Great period lighting when electricity was still in its infancy. When makers like Bradley and Hubbard, Handel, Tiffany studios, Pairpoint, and others cared about quality, appearance, and function. When makers were trying to outdo one another with this new business boom of electric lighting. When we went from whale and kerosene oil lamps and gas, to electric. This is when the best lamps in the world were manufactured and the ones I want to light my home with when its dark. I cant control the sun or the amount of light it provides or when it comes up or goes down, and whether its cloudy or not, but I can control the light in my home when its dark. And like I said earlier, I want nice rugs, paintings, pottery, furniture, etc. And I want to see those items lit by great lighting. Its what makes a home more outstanding and livable because without it you see absolutely nothing. A quality lamp makes or breaks a room. You can have the best rugs, furniture, paintings, and accessories in the world, but without great lamps or lighting nobody will ever see it.
