THE HANDEL COMPANY: Founded in Meriden, Connecticut in 1885, Philip Julius Handel was very much the driving force of the company until his death in 1914. The company produced a large variety of lighting fixtures that fall into two broad categories: leaded, and painted lamps. The present lamp is a very pleasing example of the first category.
