Description
- Tiffany Studios
- "Nautilus" Table Lamp
base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/28631
nautilus shell, silvered metal and patinated bronze
with a "Mermaid" base cast from a model by Louis Gudebrod
Provenance
Macklowe Gallery, New York
Condition
Very good overall condition. There is a 3-inch long crack extending from the front bottom edge of the shell which does not detract from the overall appearance of the lamp. (This crack loops around itself, like a backwards 9, and as a result appears enclosed and totally stable.) Some tarnish and discoloration to the silvered framing on the shell. The base retains a rich russet brown and green patina, with some light rubbing and occasional minor flaking to the patina in isolated areas consistent with age and gentle use. With replaced socket.
