Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. The bronze surfaces throughout display a rich russet brown and dark green patina. With light rubbing and a few minor areas of discoloration and surface dirt to the overlaid bronze elements are consistent with age and gentle use. The favrile glass which is blown through the bronze reticulations appears to be a later replacement, which was sensitively executed. The base appears to retain its original socket, paddle switch and bronze screw terminals which secure the shade.
