Tiffany Studios

Estate of a Florida Collector
Acquired from the above by the present owner, circa 2000

Overall in very good condition. The favrile glass shade with only minimal small surface flecks along the exterior perimeter of the top aperture, which are entirely concealed by the finial. The shade displays well-defined feather decoration with strong color and iridescence throughout. The rare decorated base is finely cast with very crisp and well-articulated applied coil decoration, and with an exceptionally rich green and russet brown patina. The base retains its original socket and paddle switch. The terminals of the shade arms with some minor abrasion marks from surface contact over the years with the shade. With replaced finial. This lamp presents beautifully in person with delicate proportions and scale.
