Lamps That Beautify 
Your Home 
Any room in your house will be enriched in charm and beauty 
when lighted with a Handel Lamp. The soft, mellow light 
shows every detail of the furnishings to the best possible advantage. 
Handel Lamps and Fixtures are expressions of the highest 
artistic skill and originality. They produce, with gas, electricity or 
oil, attractive rays which do not tire the eyes.

is perfect. The construction is as thorough as the designing is 
artistic. ; !
