Tiffany Studios Furniture

The hand-crafted kerosene and early electric lighting fixtures created at Tiffany Studios now rank among the most coveted decorative objects in the world. Tiffany designs of any kind are emblematic of taste and craftsmanship, and Tiffany glass refers to far more than stained-glass windows and decorative glass objects. The iconic multimedia manufactory’s offerings include stained-glass floor lamps, chandeliers and enameled metal vases. The most recognizable and prized of its works are antique Tiffany Studios table lamps.

The name Tiffany generally prompts thoughts of two things: splendid gifts in robin’s-egg blue boxes and exquisite stained glass. In 1837, Charles Lewis Tiffany co-founded the former — Tiffany & Co., one of America’s most prominent purveyors of luxury goods — while his son, Louis Comfort Tiffany, is responsible for exemplars of the latter.

Louis was undoubtedly the most influential and accomplished American decorative artist in the decades that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rather than join the family business, he studied painting with several teachers, notably the scenic painter Samuel Colman, while spending long periods touring Europe and North Africa. Though he painted his entire career, visits to continental churches sparked a passionate interest in stained glass. Tiffany began experimenting with the material and in 1875 opened a glass factory-cum-laboratory in Corona, Queens — the core of what eventually became Tiffany Studios.

In his glass designs, Tiffany embraced the emerging Art Nouveau movement and its sinuous, naturalistic forms and motifs. By 1902, along with glass, Tiffany was designing stained-glass lamps and chandeliers as well as enameled metal vases, boxes and bowls, and items such as desk sets and candlesticks. Today such pieces epitomize the rich aesthetics of their era.

The lion’s share of credit for Tiffany Studios table lamps and other fixtures has gone to Louis. However, it was actually Clara Driscoll (1861–1944), an Ohio native and head of the Women’s Glass Cutting Department for 17 years, who was the genius behind the Tiffany lamps that are most avidly sought by today’s collectors. A permanent gallery of Tiffany lamps at the New-York Historical Society celebrates the anonymous women behind the desirable fixtures.

Tiffany Studios New York "Scarab" Humidor Box
By Tiffany Studios
Located in New York, NY
First offered through Tiffany & Co., this stunningly naturalistic humidor, which is believed to have been carved from a single piece of wood by Joseph Briggs, was featured in Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Books from 1906 to 1912. The two Favrile glass scarabs reflect a fascination with Ancient Egypt that began in the 1860s with the first archaeological explorations and continued through the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. The scarab represented the Egyptian sun god Khepri and was a symbol of resurrection. The ancient Egyptians placed scarabs on mummies for good luck and protection against evil as they made their journey to the next world. Item #: T-21822 Artist: Tiffany Studios New York Country: United States Circa: 1906 Dimensions: 4.25" height, 4.5" width, 4" depth. Materials: Wood, Favrile Glass, Bronze Signed: impressed with Tiffany Studios monogram Condition Report: Wood with customary separations at the underside, which continue to visible bottom of humidor. Large inset cypriote with old stable crack. Top scarab with old stable crack diagonally across the center of the body. These imperfections are only visible on close inspection, none are visually distracting. Exhibition History: This box is one of seven known signed examples, three of which are in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, Richmond, Virginia, and the Louis C. Tiffany Garden Museum, Japan.

Tiffany Studios New York "Oriental Poppy" Leaded Glass and Bronze Floor Lamp
By Tiffany Studios
Located in New York, NY
This Tiffany Studios New York "Oriental Poppy" leaded glass and patinated bronze floor lamp was designed circa 1913. Surmounted by a bronze cap with hogtail finial and geometric piercing, this shade depicts a profusion of deep red and crimson poppies with intense blue centers and hints of amber pollen on a blue green ground of foliage and blue sky streaked with cloud, while the lower rim is bounded by a high relief rippled green glass border. The poppies are depicted in various stages of development from seed pods, to buds on the verge of opening, to blossoms in full flower, and the effect is realized by the use of mottled, streaked and granite glass in a range of painstakingly chosen hues, tones and degrees of intensity and transparency, resulting in the powerful evocation of a three-dimensional naturalism. The shade is raised on a patinated bronze "Senior" floor base. The lamp is a tour-de-force creation reflecting the combined vision of Louis Tiffany and his women collaborators, working together to express ideals of naturalism and impressionism through the decorative arts. Item #: L-21814 Artist: Tiffany Studios New York Country: United States Circa: 1910 Dimensions: 26" diameter, 77" height.

Tiffany Studios New York 7-Piece "Pond Lily" Desk Set
By Louis Comfort Tiffany, Tiffany Studios
Located in New York, NY
Tiffany Studios’ Pond Lily Desk Set is a rare model, with only three extant sets known. The set is decorated with a dazzling array of lily pads, lily buds, dragonflies, and moths. The dragonfly and moth was a leitmotif of the Art Nouveau, but Louis Tiffany encountered the creatures and explored their form and significance throughout his childhood and artistic life, beginning as a youngster who sketched au plein air in the woods and wetlands surrounding his father’s summer house. At his Laurelton Hall estate, an artwork of nature coaxed into form over decades, Tiffany observed these insects in the teeming saltwater marshes and wetlands of Oyster Bay. The crown jewel of his Laurelton Hall garden was a water lily pond filled with varieties of colored water lilies, a novelty that debuted at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. Tiffany proceeded to make a series of designs based on the pond lily which he displayed to much acclaim in the 1902 Turin Prima Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte Decorativa Moderna.

Tiffany Studios New York "Apple Blossom" Table Lamp
By Tiffany Studios
Located in New York, NY
A Tiffany Studios New York "Apple Blossom" glass and bronze table lamp. The shade features amber & green streaky glass branches with pink and white apple blossoms. The tonality of the leaves ranges from dense, deep greens at the crown to lighter greens below. The apple blossoms range from white at the shade's irregular border to pink with touches of red towards the crown. Tiffany's artisans skillfully incorporated specialized types of glass into the lampshade, specifically using foliage and granite glass. The unique texture of these glass varieties gives rise to a captivating interaction between degrees of translucency and opacity, evoking the dappled effect of sunlight filtering through tree branches. The shade sits atop a patinated bronze tree trunk base and is specially designed to fit it. The patinated bronze openwork crown lattice at the top of the shade resembles tree branches and is a direct extension of the base. Flowering apple trees grew on the grounds of his Laurelton Hall estate and appear as a motif in many of his windows and lamps. The spreading “Apple Blossom” lamp is the most stunning and realistic tree shape that Tiffany ever produced. Its intricacy and delicacy imbue the piece with radiant beauty and give it marked significance within the world of Tiffany lamps.

    To tell if stained glass is Tiffany, first examine the piece and look for a maker's mark. Tiffany Studios changed its hallmarks many times over the years. By comparing the marking on your piece to images of hallmarks found on authentic items shared on trustworthy websites, you can begin to identify your glass. The base can provide an additional clue if your stained glass piece is a lamp. Many Tiffany lamps have a gray metal ring located under the cap. If you spot one, your piece may be made by Tiffany. Because there are many reproductions on the market, it is often wise to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer assist with the identification process. Find a range of Tiffany glass on 1stDibs.
