(A) The finest large Bradley and Hubbard table lamp I've ever had, poor underprivileged collector that I am. It stands about 27 inches tall and at its widest point the shade is a full 20 inches! The base is signed B&H. This lamp was "toast" when I bought it, so I've freshly patinated it (with a mottled painted finish to VERY closely approxiate the original).

(B) This Bradley & Hubbard has been in my "private collection" for years, I adore it! And who wouldn't -- it's got all the right elements: mica shades (note the subtle green-painted band around the bottom of the shades), luscious bronze patina, faux marblized finish on the base (!!), individual switches, classic B&H knurled nut on the raising and lowering shade holder (!!!). Did I miss anything? It's about fourteen inches tall; and, as you can plainly see, in MINT condition! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(C) That's a deep green cased glass dome shade you're looking at, Pod'nah. The lamp was made anywhere from 1905 to 1920 (American) and sports a typical metal mix of cast iron, brass, and white metal. It's a pleasing design and stands about 21 inches tall. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(E) This solid brass table or desk lamp Ca. 1910 hosts an unsigned Handel shade (I know it's Handel because I saw an exact drawing of it in one of the books about Handel lamps and shades). It stands 18 inches tall and the shade is about 13 inches in diameter. I have cased green glass dome shade similar to the one in (C) above, in the unimaginable event that this shade doesn't appeal to you! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(F) This is a cast-iron American table lamp probably from the 'teens. It's got a wonderful, rare antiqued enamel finish on the iron (original) in a pale yellow color. The shades are German, from the same period, and have a lovely acid cut back design along with some wheel-cut designs! The lamp is about 15 inches tall; the two socket covers swivel from their original ball joint swivels! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(G) Perched on its marble-based table lamp by Pairpoint, this mica shade says, "I couldn't be better suited!" I agree. It's 26 inches tall and the mica shade is about 16 across.

This one's sold, but I have another identical Pairpoint base, if you have a shade! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

  

(H) 21 inches tall, and 19 1/2 across the shade, this leaded glass lamp is a fine example of American turn-of-the-century design and craftsmanship. The motif repeats three times around the shade which, as you can clearly see, has wonderful opalescent qualities about it.

Now just how could this beautiful leaded glass lamp stick around, tell me!! SOLD!!!

 

 

(I) What a darling little lamp!! Originally it was an inkwell, but for you-know-who that just wasn't enough. I'll never say how the transformation was accomplished (trade secret!), but you be the judge as to whether it "works." It's about 8 inches tall. This one's sold, but guess who has another?! (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)

 

 

(J) This recently chromed table lamp was originally finished in a bronze patina, but the "artist in me" called for a re-do! And wasn't it a great call (ahem, ahem)? With its period wheel-cut and iridescent shade, it stands about 14 inches tall. A pretty little table or desk lamp, heavy and well-made. (e-mail Jack to start the conversation)
