About the Item
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.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
With its complex composition and bold pigmentation across the spectrum, the Oriental Poppy lamp exemplifies the unique fusion of naturalism, impressionism, and ornamentalism achieved by the artists of Tiffany Studios. A favorite subject of the French impressionists, the poppy flower entered the school's artistic vernacular in the 1874 at the first Impressionist Exhibition, where Monet's celebrated "Poppy Field" was displayed. A devotee of the movement, Louis Tiffany most likely attended this exhibition, which was held in a venue that was a short walk from his father's discreet representative office in central Paris. The artist painted the poetic blossoms himself in his own landscapes and plein air sketches, and also cultivated the opulent flowers at his first Long Island Estate, Briars, as well as in the sunken garden at Laurelton Hall. Arts & Crafts inspired principles, shared by Tiffany's one-time partner Candace Wheeler and Tiffany's foremost lamp designer, Clara Driscoll, are evident in the rhythmic, ornamental density of the overall design. With its mysterious, dreamy perspective, the shade's composition draws viewer's the eye in and out as it compels the delighted mind to explore the complex imagery.

Tiffany Studios
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 "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.

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
As a gardener, the apple was one of Tiffany’s favorite plants, providing beauty in the spring and sustenance in the fall. In 1875, Tiffany photographed his wife Mary Goddard Tiffany and daughter Mae Mae picking apple blossoms on the grounds of his father Charles’ eighteenth century Dutch farmhouse in Irvington, NY. As a matter of both aesthetic and sentimental significance, Tiffany lined...
