Boasting an illustrious lifespan of nearly half a century, the Handel Lamp Company was one of the early 20th century's premier lamp and fixture lighting companies. Best known for their Teroma art glass, Teroca metal overlay & their reverse-painted lamp shades, which were produced from 1906 until the 1920s, when Art Nouveau began to wane in popularity. These highly collectible pieces were marketed to upper-middle class families, and offered interchangeable shades and bases to suit the owner's preferences. Unfortunately, the company closed in 1936, two decades after the death of Philip Handel. Today their lamps still command impressive prices at auction, in recognition of the highest quality craftsmanship that went into their creation.
We find that early antique lighting was designed as objects of art and we treat each fixture with careful attention to preserve original beauty. Our fixtures are cleaned, rewired, and restored & are ready to hang, following UL standards. We can work with you on code requirements.
