The exceptional beauty of Pairpoint glass lamps has been cherished since their origin in New Bedford, Massachusetts, between 1907 and 1929. Now, for the first time, the complete range and diversity of these magnificent, softly glowing works of art are shown together in a useful source and reference. More than 200 full-color photographs, excerpts from company catalogs, and advertisements detail the designs, shade styles and sizes, and serial numbers of the lamps. A rarity guide is included.
The book features chapters on the beautiful variations of shade styles, including puffy, ribbed, and scenic; and chandelier, non-electrified, and floor lamps.
From time to time, a few publishers of first rank will, at great time and expense, produce exhaustive and beautifully illustrated references giving the collecting and appraising world a single fine source for learning about a single great producer of one category of decorative art, or one historic collection. Schiffer has done it again with Pairpoint Lamps. - West Coast Peddler, October 2002
