Founded in 1876 in Connecticut, the Handel Lamp Company reached its height in the early 1900s, providing lamps that matched the aesthetic quality of Tiffany lamps but at a lower cost. Handel originally specialized in reverse painted lamp shades: shades painted on the inside of the glass, creating a three dimensional-looking image. Handel’s Art Nouveau designs were very popular, but the company floundered as Art Deco styling came into vogue, and closed its doors in 1936.
There are a wide variety of collectible lamps, from big names like Tiffany and Handel to styles like slag glass, aladdin and Victorian. Values vary greatly, and reproductions abound, so be careful and do your homework.
