Date: 1914
Origin: American (Toledo, Ohio)
Maker: The Edward N. Riddle Company, Toledo, Ohio. Also had a showroom on Fifth Avenue, New York
Self-described as “Designers and Makers of Metal Lamps, Vellumesque Shades, Gift Novelties, and Lighting Fixtures,” the Edward N Riddle Lighting Company of Toledo, Ohio hit its stride in light manufacturing in the 1920’s, though they have been around since 1892. One of their popular products were “estofado” frames, which are a Spanish-inspired method of applying primary colors to virgin metals for an antique effect. Additionally, the company called their products “fitments” in advertisements to convince their customers that they would be easy to install and uninstall to fit their design preferences over the years. Regardless of the validity of that claim, they were certainly well-sought after for the quality of their fitments.
