Tiffany Studios Table Lamps
Of all the lighting fixtures and other pieces produced by multimedia decorative-arts manufactory Tiffany Studios, which include stained-glass floor lamps and chandeliers as well as enameled metal vases, antique Tiffany Studios table lamps are the most recognizable and the most prized.
In 1837, Charles Lewis Tiffany founded Tiffany & Co. — one of America’s most prominent purveyors of luxury goods. His son, Louis Comfort Tiffany, was undoubtedly the most influential and accomplished American decorative artist in the decades that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Louis declined to join the family business and pursued a career as an artist. 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.
The hand-crafted kerosene and early electric lamps created at Tiffany Studios now rank among the world’s most coveted decorative objects. In his glass designs, Tiffany embraced the emerging Art Nouveau movement and its sinuous, naturalistic forms and motifs. The company’s celebrated table lamps include the Dragonfly (originally designed in 1899) with bronze filigree wings and gleaming glass eyes, the Pond Lily table lamp (circa 1900–06), and the rare Wisteria (designed in 1901), which, in its colorful leaded glass shade and bronze tree trunk-like table base, takes the form of a tree in bloom.
The lion’s share of credit for Tiffany Studios table lamps and other fixtures has gone to Louis Comfort Tiffany. 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.
