- Desk Lamp
- base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/419
shade engraved L.C.T. Favrile - patinated bronze and favrile glass
Provenance
Sotheby's New York, December 4, 1999, lot 496
Condition
Generally very good overall condition. The shade is in overall good condition with only some minor surface dirt and a few bubble inclusions inherent in the making. Lamp has been rewired, but the switch and socket appear to be original. Some rubbing and verdigris to the patina as expected with age and use. The screw pins that hold the shade in place appear to be original, however, one of the fittings is stripped and would benefit from repair. The pins do however hold the shade properly in place.
