Description
- Tiffany Studios
- A Fine and Rare "Pony Begonia" Table Lamp
shade stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK/850-3
base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/350/10115
- leaded glass and patinated bronze
probably designed by Clara Driscoll
Provenance
Macklowe Gallery, New York
Condition
Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 12-15 cracks to the glass scattered throughout. As expected, there is some gentle rubbing to the high points on the top bronze armature of the shade and on the base. With surface soiling to some of the perimeter borders of the leading, and to the recessed contours of the base. The sockets appear to be original, and the base switch is replaced. A beautiful example of this rare model, displaying a particularly strong selection of glass.
