Tiffany Studios

Darien, CT Estate
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall very good condition. The gilt bronze surfaces throughout retain a rich warm patina, showing gentle rubbing, a few scattered light surface scratches and light surface soiling to some of the recessed contours of the design consistent with age and gentle use. The bronze surfaces with a few small and minor areas of discoloration consistent with age and use. The reverse with a few areas of minor discoloration, scattered surface scratches and areas of light rubbing to the patina along the lower edge. The clear glass front with scattered minute surface scratches. Movement is not guaranteed to run at the time of cataloging and was not tested for accuracy of time and may need service at the buyer’s discretion. A wonderful example of the model retaining the rich luminous gilt patina. -----
