This stunning Tiffany Studios "Vine Border" Harp Floor Lamp features a golden and mottled green grape vines against a mottled golden geometric ground. The vine border pattern was commonly found on Greek red-figure pottery, typically on vessels meant for storing or mixing wine. On such vessels, dionysiac groups of maenads and satyrs would carry grapevine branches and thyrsi, wands wound with grape leaves, carried during festivals and religious ceremonies.
