    shade engraved L.C.T
  • patinated bronze and favrile glass

Provenance

Macklowe Gallery, New York

Condition

Generally very good overall condition. The lamp has been re-wired, but the sockets and pull switches appear to be original. The bronze has been polished and has had a lustrous patina and coating applied. Some minor scratches to the patina notably to the stem. There is a slight dent to one panel of the base which is not overtly apparent due to the sculptural nature of the form. The hanging prisms are well matched and have small scattered chips and bubble inclusions. The shade has a few minor edge chips which do not detract when the shade is fitted into its mount. The shade is a good match to the prisms of this unusual Tiffany model.
