Description

  • "Geometric and Turtleback Tile" Parasol Chandelier
  • shade stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK

  • leaded glass, favrile glass and patinated bronze

Provenance

Macklowe Gallery, New York

Condition

Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 28-32 cracks scattered throughout. The leading and filigree framing to the shade retains a rich brown and green patina, with some light rubbing consistent with age and gentle use. With replaced hardware. The central turtle back tile finial (which is a separate component that screws into the bottom of the socket cluster above the shade) is replaced, but was executed with a period piece of iridized glass. A fine example of this attractive and rare parasol chandelier model.
