- each shade engraved L.C.T.
base impressed TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/381 - favrile glass and gilt bronze
Provenance
Christie's New York, March 10, 1994, lot 562
Condition
Overall in very good condition. With a beautifully matched set of Lily shades displaying vigorously ruffled rims and a full range of saturated colors to the iridescence. Two of the “lily” shades with very minor surface flecks to the top apertures (which are not visible when the shades are installed in the base). The gilt base with considerable rubbing, surface soiling and discoloration throughout consistent with age and use. A few of the central stems appear to be very slightly bent and would benefit from being sensitively re-adjusted. All of the porcelain sockets appear to be period and undisturbed. With period Bakelite base switch.
