Description
- Tiffany Studios
- A Superb "Peony" Table Lamp
shade stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK
base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/367/S180- leaded glass and patinated bronze
designed by Clara Driscoll
Provenance
Macklowe Gallery, New York
Condition
Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 25-30 cracks to the glass scattered throughout. The base with light rubbing, surface soiling and scattered traces of oxidation to the russet brown and green patina consistent with age and use. The sockets and switches appear to be original. The period finial shows rubbing and light wear. The shade presently sits slightly askew on the riser and would benefit from a minor adjustment. A superb example of this iconic model, displaying an exquisite and artful selection of glass, most notably in the careful selection of glass used to articulate the flower blossoms, and the intensely mottled blue-green background glass.
