The Handel Lamp Company was originally formed as a partnership between Philip J Handel and Adolph Eydam in 1885. In 1890 the company opened a retail showroom in New York City. In 1893 Philip Handel bought out his partner Eydam and changed the company name other than Philip J Handel. It was later changed again in 1898 to Handel & Company and then again in 1903 to The Handel Company. In 1902 the company opened its privately owned foundry and began producing its own lamp bases. In 1904 the company started producing the leaded stained glass shades to adorn its lamp bases. Philip J Handel died in 1914. The Handel Company continued producing lamps until 1936.
