HANDEL REVERSE PAINTED BIRD LAMP.

HANDEL REVERSE PAINTED BIRD LAMP. This domical shaped shade has a sand finished exterior painted on the interior with three very colorful parrots perched on branches with complimentary foliage that are painted in shades of rose and yellow with green foliage. All of this design is on a marbelized white background with veins of color in blue, black and green. The birds are exceptionally well painted in primary hues of red, yellow and blue. The minute detail given to the eyes, beaks and plumage is second to none. The shade is supported by a three column polychrome base with three sockets, three tassel pulls and three amber teardrop and floral prisms. The base is topped with an amber ball finial. The base is then completed with red enameling around the foot. Shade is signed on the aperture ring “Handel Lamps” and on the inside rim “Handel 7128” and artist signed “Palme”. The base is unsigned. This is one of the finest examples of this lamp that we have ever seen. SIZE: Shade is 18″ dia. Overall 24″ t. CONDITION: Shade is very good to excellent. The base has wear to polychrome finish, otherwise very good. 5-68213 (12,000-15,000)
