Description
Markel Electric Products, Inc. was founded by Joseph Markel in the early 1920s. Based in Rochester, New York, this family owned business manufactured and distributed electric lighting fixtures from 1920 to the late 1950s.
Known for their elegant, graceful, and trend setting designs, Markel played a important role in the Art Deco lighting period. So popular and timeless were Markel Slip Shade designs, that today restorers, and collectors seek out these original designs for restoration, use, and everyday enjoyment.
