This exquisite Tiffany Studios “Prism” chandelier, features five shades comprised of iridescent gold glass "Prisms" suspended from intricately sculpted bronze heat cap. Each prism shimmers with great transparency, mesmerizing with its iridescence and chains with alternating chain links and bronze spheres highlighting each chain. Tiffany wrote extensively on the prismatic color theory in the Scientific American— his conceptual understanding derived from Isaac Newton’s book “Optics.” Newton famously proved that white light consisted of a miscellany of colors using his prism experiment. Late nineteenth-century publications suggested that amateur scientists use chandelier prisms to try Newton’s experiment at home. As a man of the modern age, Tiffany believed that science and art must cofunction for the greatest effect.
