Description
- Tiffany Studios
- A Rare "Water Lily Twisted Stem" Lamp Base
impressed TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/SS20/443
- patinated bronze
Condition
Overall in very good condition. The patinated bronze surfaces with very light rubbing to the patina consistent with age and use. There are a few very small and minor flecks/losses to the patina along the most aggressively curved contours of the shade arms supporting the ring, as well as a small area of patina loss (3/16 inch) to the central raised contour on the circular base. All of the sockets and paddle switches appear to be original and undisturbed. A beautiful example of this highly desirable base model displaying an exceptionally rich green and russet brown patina.
