Description
- Tiffany Studios
- "Dragonfly" Table Lamp
- shade stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK
base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/478 - leaded glass and patinated bronze
Provenance
Christie's New York, December 10, 2002, lot 153
Condition
Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 5 cracks to the glass scattered throughout. With surface soiling to the shade, particularly in the recessed contours of the decorative bronze overlays, which would benefit from sensitive cleaning. The shade sits slightly askew on the riser and would benefit from a minor adjustment. The base with a rich russet brown and green patina with minor wear and light rubbing from age and gentle use. Some small and minor patina losses above the feet on the base from continued contact with the cord. Sockets and switches appear to be original. With period finial. The shade displays a striking and vibrant glass selection.
