Tiffany Studios

Very good overall condition. The shade with approximately 7-9 cracks to the glass scattered throughout. Some surface dirt to shade that would benefit from light cleaning. The base with an attractive green patina with some light rubbing, and a few small and minor patina losses to the central area of the base below the standard consistent with age and gentle use. The top region of the base above the glass tiles with a shallow surface abrasion approximately 1 ½ x 1 inch, with associated losses to the patina. The sockets and switches appear to be original, but one is slightly loose and would benefit from a slight adjustment. Some rubbing and light oxidization to the period finial which is otherwise in good order. Converted for electricity. A fine example of the model with particularly impressive turtleback tiles displaying great color and iridescence.
