Frank Lloyd Wright Favrille stained glass 'S2300’ Yamagiwa brass table lamp lantern 1994 (also known as the "Sumac" lamp). Extremely rare piece, authorized by FLW Foundation, limited production, numbered. Panels of Iridized glass with substantial brass frame. The Dana-Thomas sumac house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1902-1904 for Susan Lawrence Dana, a forward-thinking socialite living in Springfield, Illinois. It contains the largest collection of site-specific, original wright art glass and furniture. Wright’s first “blank check” commission, the home has 35 rooms in the 12,000 square feet of living space which includes 3 main levels and 16 varying levels in all. Beyond the essence of an architectural masterpiece of international significance, the house is a brilliant showcase of craftsmanship in iridized glass doors, windows and light fixtures, terra cotta sculpture and an exquisite mural. In a 1907 Chicago Architectural Club exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, Wright presented 38 projects representing the pinnacle of his Prairie-period work. Dozens of drawings were displayed both framed and unframed. Models representing Unity Temple (Oak Park, Illinois, 1905-1908), the Larkin Company Administration Building (Buffalo, 1903-1906), and Lincoln Center (an unrealized project) were presented on pedestals. Photographs were scattered on a table to be perused at the visitor’s leisure. Several pieces of pottery that wright had designed for Teco pottery were also displayed. Wright livened up the gallery with touches of color and sparkle by including at least three windows: two “Sumac” windows (recently rediscovered and sold at Sotheby’s Dec 2017 auction for nearly 450,000 USD each, see last image) designed for the Susan Lawrence Dana house and his famous “Tree of Life” window designed for the Darwin D. Martin House. Wright also displayed two lamps designed for the Dana House, a single-pedestal table lamp and one of the box-shaped lanterns for the reception room fountain. The lamp available here is the from the sole (and limited) production run, authorized by the FLW foundation and undertaken by the prestigious Yamagiwa company, of this box lantern...
