Tiffany & Co. 1893 Art Nouveau Desk Oil Lamp In Sterling Silver With Roman Coin
Located in Miami, FL
Desk oil lamp designed by Charles L. Tiffany for Tiffany & Co.
Beautiful desk oil lamp or cigar lighter, created in New York at the Tiffany Studios during the art nouveau period, back in the 1893. This very rare round oil lamp, was realized under the directory period of Charles L. Tiffany (1891-1902) in repousse silver. The design have influences of Roman Revival styles and a lot of symbolisms, depicting the model of a bee associated to the city of Ephesus and mounted with a genuine Roman coin.
Bees played an essential role in Greek and Roman religious traditions. They, and the honey they produce, have many symbolic meanings. The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that bees were servants and messengers of the gods and goddesses. The Romans believed that a swarm of bees was to be avoided because while the swarm was on the move, they were the carrying messages and doing the biddings of the gods. They also feature in many stories of the Greek and Roman gods. One story tells of the birth of Zeus, King of the Gods renamed Jupiter by the Romans. The coin mounted in this piece show us the standing figure of Jupiter giving victory to the emperor.
Roman Coin: Is a genuine Roman bronze antonianus coin from the Imperial period, struck in the name of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Valerius Maximianus (286-305 AD). The obverse show the armored and crowned bust of Maximinus. At the reverse, he's standing and draped receiving the victory from a naked Jupiter holding a scepter with legend CONCORDIA MILITIAS.
Weight: 72.95 Grams, (46.76 Dwt).
Measurements: 74 mm by 100 mm by 40 mm (2.90 x 3.94 x 1.57 Inches).
Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark, the mark for the assay of the silver , the pattern and order numbers the letter T, for Charles L Tiffany and signed, "TIFFANY & CO. MAKERS SILVER SOLDERED 11638 265 T 309 12".
