Description
- Tiffany Studios
- Twelve-Light "Lily" Table Lamp
- each shade engraved L.C.T. Favrile
base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/1063 with the Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company monogram - favrile glass and patinated bronze
Provenance
Lillian Nassau, New York
Condition
Very good overall condition. The shades are a particularly well matched set and are very consistent in their form and color. Two shades each with small minor chips to the top aperture which are not evident when the shades are inserted into the base. One shade with a 1/4 inch glued repair to the top aperture which again is not evident when the shade is inserted into the base. The base retains a rich brown and green patina to the surfaces with only minor rubbing and surface soiling. A few of the tubular bronze lily stems and some of the patinated metal socket covers are slightly bent and would benefit from minor adjustments. The sockets have been replaced, and the switch is possibly original. An attractive and early example of this iconic model.
