  • Pair of “Favrile Fabrique” Table Lamps
  • shades impressed TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK
    bases impressed TIFFANY STUDIOS/NEW YORK/633
  • favrile glass, gilt bronze

Condition

Overall in very good condition. All of the Favrile Fabrique favrile glass panels of both shades are in very good condition with no visible cracks. The top heat caps are both in excellent condition with only a few minor light surface scratches. One heat cap with threaded post to secure cap and shade to the base; the threaded post for the other lamp is attached to and rises from the wheel. The gilt patinated bronze surfaces of the bases display a warm golden tone with light surface dirt to the recessed areas and a few scattered, very minor spots of oxidation on each. The sockets on both lamps appear to be replaced. A highly attractive and well-proportioned pair from Tiffany’s famous Favrile Fabrique (Linenfold) series in particularly fine condition.
