Here for your consideration is a very nice Handel lamp base measures 7 1/2" at the foot and stands 24". Is in the art nouveau style with it's original patina and all hardware is properly signed and rewired for safety wile using the silk wound wire. This is a rare base and is shown on page 26 of the "Handel metal overlay " book by Robert Defalco. Prior to 1905 Handel bought most of their bases, after that year Handel built their own foundry and made their own, particularly to tightly control quality as was the case consist ant with all the Handel operations. Aantone E.Teich was responsible for the foundry operation. In the next 5 years, Handel's production tripled. This fine base is priced to sell.
