Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. The shade with approximately 4 cracks to the glass tiles dispersed throughout, all which appear stable. The richly mottled glass throughout show greater nuance and color as show in the catalogue illustration. The interior of the glass panels of the shade with wonderful depth and ridge detail, which creates some of the visual complexity seen when viewing the exterior of the shade. The three favrile glass elements to the base are in very good condition with a few minor surface scratches and flecks to the rim. The feather decoration is finely executed and ads wonderful depth to the overall lamp. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base display a rich marbled green and russet brown patina with gentle surface wear, minor traces of surface oxidation and light surface soiling and white surface residue to the recessed areas of the design. Both the wheel and the finial are later replacements. The base with a later switch. The sockets and paddle switches appear to be original and undisturbed. A wonderful and rare lamp by the firm. -----
