Great
Art Glass Lamps: Tiffany, Duffner & Kimberly,
Pairpoint, and Handel is a lamp collector's
dream. Presented together for the first time
are over 200 of the finest Victorian and Art
Nouveau glass-shaded lamps made by the top four
American manufacturers: Tiffany, Duffner & Kimberly,
Pairpoint, and Handel. Each lamp is shown in
large color photographs to display the exquisite
detail that has kept them among the most cherished
and valuable home accessories. A never-before-published
1906 Duffner & Kimberly lamps catalog supplements
the photographs and gives exact design details.
The book was written by Martin M. May, a dedicated
and knowledgeable enthusiast of Victorian culture
who searched among the finest private collections,
museums, and leading galleries to locate each
top example from his "world's best" wish list.
He found everything he went looking for and
more, and it is all here to enthrall you. Everyone
who loves glass will marvel at these extraordinary
examples of the finest glass artists and early
20th century industry combining to make incredible
works of art. Collectors, museum curators, dealers,
art historians, and interior designers will
all find this an invaluable aid in assessing
the best in art glass lamp designs.
