Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. With less than five cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout the shade. The patinated bronze base with light wear and rubbing to the patina consistent with age and gentle use. The underbase with traces of old adhesive around the perimeter base plate from prior circular gliders. With period sockets and switches. One socket is slightly loose, and is missing one tiny socket screw. Finial probably a modern replacement. The colors throughout the shade are slightly more subtle than seen in the catalogue illustration, which is slightly too red and over saturated. The palette throughout is yellow and amber, accented with deeper shades of burnt orange.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
