Description
- Tiffany Studios
- "Border Peony" Floor Lamp
shade stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1574
base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/377- leaded glass and patinated bronze
Provenance
Christie's New York, December 8, 1990, lot 514
Condition
Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 40-45 cracks to the glass scattered throughout. The base displays a rich green-brown patina with some occasional light surface scratches and rubbing consistent with age and gentle use. The period pig-tail finial is slightly bent at the tip, and has a few small surface indentations. One socket and accompanying switch has been replaced, and the other five sockets and switches appear to be original. The lamp presents beautifully, and displays an atypical and striking glass selection. In person, the top geometric register is more subtle and slightly less red than in the catalogue illustration.
