Apple Blossom Leaded Glass Lamp by Unique Art Glass & Metal
Early 20th century American leaded glass lamp. Impressive in its pattern, leaded and stately size for a table lamp. Apple blossom pattern with shapely border apron and seated on a four socket bronze column lamp. Unsigned, measuring approx 31" H x 24" Diameter. Good working condition, a few very tight typical hairlines, see photos. Unique Art Glass & Metal Co. is arguably the most influential manufacturer that made leaded glass lamp shades in the shadow of Tiffany Studios. In 1903, they were among the first to embrace copper-foil work and they soon emerged as the undisputed leader in this advanced field. Unique was able to play a major role in defining the designs of popular leaded shades and other lamp manufacturers at the time copied many of their ideas. Through their advertisements, Unique Art Glass & Metal Co. claimed to be the largest manufacturer of copper-foiled lampshades in the United States. Their product line was extremely large and diverse, but using the most current information we have, their lamps were never signed and no catalog has yet surfaced. Unique displayed many advertisements but they only displayed their lower-end lamps. It is thought that Unique had such a well-known name during their time that they did not need to advertise their fancier models. What must have been common knowledge in the industry long ago, is lost from memory now, and we are left with only a minute amount of information for this extraordinary company.
