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.
