shade tag stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK
base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/260 and with the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Co. Mark- leaded glass and patinated bronze
shade design attributed to Clara Driscoll
Provenance
Ina Higbee Bookwalter, Bertrand, MI, ca. 1930s
Given to the present owners as a wedding gift in 1960
Condition
Overall in good condition consistent with age and use. There are approx. 22 cracked tiles in the shade, mostly concentrated at an area approx. 8 in. long near the rim where it must have suffered an impact; the shade is also slightly out of round because of that. The patina is good but dirty, surface dirt has collected near the leading the shade. Would benefit from a good gentle professional cleaning. The selection of glass and colors is exquisite. The base is in good condition, the sockets are original, the finial appears to be original, the balls under the base have been replaced at some point with ordinary screws, these balls are easily replaceable. An outstanding example of this rare model.
