How can you tell if a lamp is a Handel?
1 Answer

To tell if a lamp is a Handel, look for the maker's marking. You will either find it on the inside of the shade or the bottom of the base. Some pieces also feature a serial number and an artisan signature. By cross-referencing these marks with information shared on trusted online resources, you can often determine a lamp's style name and date of production. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also assist you. On 1stDibs, find a collection of Handel lamps.
