Description
- Tiffany Studios
- "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.
