- Three-Light "Lily" Table Lamp
- two shades engraved L.C.T. Favrile, one shade engraved L2972
base impressed TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/319 - favrile glass and gilt bronze
Condition
Overall in very good condition. The lily shades are in excellent condition and are a well-matched assembled set, displaying slight variations in form and coloration. The shades are beautifully iridized on the interior, imparting the glass with warm luminous hues. When viewed with reflected light the shades display a range of subtle light green hues. The gilt bronze base appears to be in untouched original condition, and would probably benefit from a sensitive cleaning to revitalize the surfaces throughout. The gilding with a few, small traces of light surface oxidation and minor surface soiling to the recessed areas. All of the gilt floral bobeches appear original and undisturbed. Two of the three sockets appear original; one socket and the base switch appear to be replaced. A very charming lamp which displays beautifully.
