Tiffany Studios

Southern New Jersey Estate
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall in very good condition. A fine example of this dynamic model displaying a richly marbled green and russet brown patina. The favrile glass blown through the bronze reticulations appears original and undisturbed, with no visible condition issues. The top edge of one of the blown glass elements with an edge loss measuring one inch in length, which is not visible once the bobeche is properly installed. There is a light original variation in the hues of the green glass across the seven candle cups as seen in the catalogue illustration. The favrile glass with some minute air bubble inclusions and open air bubbles, inherent in the making and only visible under very close inspection. The favrile glass with some surface soiling along the perimeter contours. The patinated bronze surfaces with some occasional light surface scratches and rubbing to the patina. A wonderful example of this complex and richly sculptural candelabrum. -----
