Description

  • Tiffany Studios
  • Ten-Light "Lily" Lamp
  • base stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/381
    shades engraved L.C.T.

  • patinated bronze and favrile glass

Condition

Generally very good overall condition. The lamp has been re-wired and has a replaced switch and sockets. The switch is a bit loose and is currently fitted for three settings. There is some rubbing, scratches and verdigris to the patina. The verdigris may have been enhanced at some point. One of the lily stems is slightly loose and would benefit from adjustment. The shades are in good order overall. Two have some fine chipping to the fitters, but are stable and do not show when the shades are inserted into the sockets. Some of the shades may be associated but are overall well matched. The lot comes with one additional repaired shade.
