A little history of Williamson & Beardslee Lighting from 100 years ago!

Often this design is signed both Williamson and Beardslee, the latter, a lighting firm out of Delaware who acquired Williamson during this time period because of their ‘excellent designs’. The two companies patented projects included molded glass ‘lugs’ or what we may refer to as the ‘Slipper shade’ presently. In the 1929 patent - the ‘slipper shade’ was created to provide novel and simple means for mounting a shade on the fixture in a secure manner’ and conversely a way to ‘readily and quickly detach at any time for cleaning or other purposes’ – without requiring manipulation of set screws or mechanics to mount or release the glass. Genius, perhaps during the 30’s the only oversight of the design was the ease that the glass could be removed, or knocked out from the mount system, causing the glass, 85 years later to become quite rare.
