base impressed TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/416 - favrile glass and patinated bronze
Condition
Overall in very good condition. The shade with only two very small cracks to the remote upper corners of their respective glass panels, which are very minor and not at all obtrusive. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base and shade display an incredibly rich and vibrant russet brown and green patina, with light surface wear, abrasions and gentle rubbing to the patina, and with a few small and minor areas of surface residue consistent with age and use. The socket and paddle switch appear to be original and undisturbed. There is a stable crack to the outer plastic bushing on the socket. A beautiful example of this attractive desk lamp displaying strong color to the glass and an exceptionally rich patina.
