Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. The “Lily” shades are in very good condition and are a well-matched assembled set displaying complementary form and coloration. The shades are beautifully iridized and when viewed with reflected light display strong luminous color and a range of saturated jewel-tone hues. A few shades with minute pin-head size flecks to the top aperture rims, and with some light rubbing to the interior top apertures, all exceedingly minor and only visible under very close inspection when the shade are not installed. The patinated bronze surfaces of the base display an exceptionally rich and satisfying green and russet brown patina. The bronze surfaces with some occasional light surface scratches and light rubbing consistent with age and gentle use. The base with a few minor traces of surface residue and with surface soiling to the recessed contours of the base design. All of the porcelain sockets appear original and undisturbed. The lamp appears to retain its original switch on the lower base. A very nice example of this elegant and refined table lamp design with an exceptional set of “lily” shades displaying outstanding coloration. -----
