Tiffany Studios

en suite with the preceding two lots

Overall in very good condition. The lily shades are a well-matched assembled set displaying highly complementary form and color. The shades are all beautifully iridized, displaying strong luminous color. Three of the Lily shades with some very small and minor surface flecks and rubbing around the top aperture rims, and with a few tiny scattered paint drips. (None of these minor issues are visible when the shades are installed.) The patinated bronze mounts display an exceptionally rich russet brown and green patina. The bronze surface with some occasional light surface scratches and gentle surface wear, and with some tiny paint drips, consistent with age and gentle use. Both mounts retain their original base switches. Only one switch appears to be functional (though both sconces are fully functional and electrified by their electrical cords). The sconces present beautifully, displaying a highly sculptural form.
