In
this beautiful new book you will find one of the finest collections of library
lamps in existence today. This book contains an array of Victorian library lamp
shades ranging from hand-painted Bristol to art glass shades of cranberry,
ruby, yellow, amber, vaseline, blue, green, amethyst, and more. Manufacturers
featured include The Ansonia Brass & Copper Company; The Bradley &
Hubbard Company; The Meriden Malleable Iron Company; The Edward Miller Company;
The Charles Parker Company; and The Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Company.
The glass produced by these companies ranged from white Bristol to beautiful
colored crystals, satins, and mother of pearls, often
designed in patterns of hobnail, bullseye, diamond quilt, swirl, zipper,
snakeskin, geometric, raindrop, and so on. Full-color, full-page photographs
are included in this detailed book. Victorian library lamps were not only sold
at distribution retail stores operated by the manufacturers, but also sold by
huge retail giants. When using independent retailers catalogs, the task of
verifying correct manufacturers is quite challenging; this book attempts to
pinpoint various manufacturers for readers. 2008 values.
