Three American Cast Metal Table Lamp Bases, Including Handel

Early 20th century, to include (2) forms by Handel in the Art Nouveau taste: the shortest, a two-light form with foliate cast base, marked to base edge (19 1/2 in.), the second a three-light cluster form cast in bronze with brown patina, of spreading reeded design with shade rest and finial, stamped "HANDEL" and "1932" to underside (23 3/4 in.); the third cast in Neoclassical style with gilt finish, two-light form lamp, with shade rest and finial, appears unmarked (22 3/4 in.).

Not tested; the taller Handel lamp with severed cord (both parts included in lot), the other two with later wiring; verdigris to crevices; smaller Handel lamp without finial; scattered areas of patina wear and gilt loss; at least three sockets on shorter two bases are later.
