Tiffany Studios

Overall in very good condition. The favrile glass “lattice” shades are a well-matched set, presenting with only very slight color variation and all with wonderfully nuanced iridescence. The shades with air bubbles and minute particulate inclusions inherent in the making and light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle handling. Each shade with minute flecks to the top aperture, not visible when the shades are installed. The shade interiors with minor traces of adhesive residue; two shades with remnants of a paper label. One shade with a small hairline fracture to the middle portion of the shade measuring approximately 3/4 inch in length, stable. The bronze mounts are in good overall condition with light surface scratches, surface soiling to the recessed areas, and minor areas of discoloration and oxidation consistent with age and gentle handling. A very nice pair of two-light sconces with beautifully articulated lattice decoration shades.
