Art Nouveau Lamp, Patinated Bronze and Stained Glass, Tiffany style, 1980's

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this stunning Art Nouveau style salon lamp, a faithful reinterpretation of the "Hanging Head Dragonfly Shade and Mosaic and Turtleback Base" model created by Tiffany Studios in 1906 and attributed to the renowned artist Clara Pierce Wolcott Driscoll (1861-1944). This artwork is notably displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago. This high-quality piece, made in the 1980s, stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and high level of execution. It embodies both the refinement of the Art Nouveau style and the timeless elegance of Tiffany creations. Description of the Artwork: Bronze Base: The base of this lamp, made of bronze, is a work of art in itself. It follows the design of the original model, while being enhanced with artistic details that showcase the exceptional skill of the artisans. Nature-inspired motifs, characteristic of Art Nouveau, are finely crafted, with an elegant patina that gives the lamp a sculptural dimension. Base Covered in "Turtleback Shells" / Glass Tiles and Mosaic: The lamp's base features a combination of glass tiles and mosaics, creating a fascinating visual effect. The glass tiles, reminiscent of turtle shells, were used by Tiffany in their original creations, where light passes through the glass pieces to reveal a play of shadows and light embedded in a harmonious composition. The lighting effect is spectacular, especially when the lamp is lit, as the light diffused through the glass elements creates a warm and enchanting atmosphere. Dragonfly Stained Glass Shade: The lampshade is a true stained glass masterpiece. Made of multicolored glass paste, it features a beautiful design of flying dragonflies, symbols of freedom and beauty in Art Nouveau. The vibrant shades of blue, green, pearl, and yellow, characteristic of the period, are perfectly arranged, and each piece of glass has been carefully hand-assembled to create a fluid and elegant image. The craftsmanship of the stained glass artists is impeccable, highlighting the delicacy of the details and the richness of the colors. A High-End Alternative to Authentic Tiffany Lamps: This lamp is a high-quality artisanal reinterpretation of Tiffany lamps, crafted with noble materials and traditional techniques. While original Tiffany lamps, created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are now extremely rare and inaccessible, this 1980s piece offers a credible and beautiful alternative. Authentic Tiffany lamps are not only difficult to find, but their prohibitive cost makes them collectible items reserved for a handful of wealthy enthusiasts or institutions. Lamps from the 1970s-1980s, such as this one, are part of high-end productions that are in strong demand on the market and are particularly sought after by collectors. Exceptional Craftsmanship: The creation of this lamp required the involvement of various specialized artisans: -Sculptors to work on the mold of the bronze cast elements. -Bronze casters, chiselers, and patineurs for casting, chiseling, and patining the bronze structure. -Stained glass artists to create the color play and composition of the stained glass. Each step of the manufacturing process was carried out with particular care to ensure not only the aesthetics of the object but also its durability and functionality. The lamp's electrical system is fully functional and has been thoroughly checked, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of this piece in your interior immediately. Striking Lighting Effect: The lamp produces a soft, diffuse light thanks to the combination of colored glass and metal elements. When lit, the light illuminates the base interior, highlighting the glass turtleback shells and creating a play of light and shadows, as well as reflections. This effect, particularly appreciated in a dimly lit room, creates a warm and intimate atmosphere. Technical Features: Total Height: 75 cm Depth: 60 cm Width: 60 cm Weight: 30 kg-40 kg (approx.) Electricity: Fully functional, ready to be used with modern bulbs. Condition: Very good overall condition, with no major defects or visible damage. Some natural signs of wear due to age, but the piece is in perfect state of preservation. Materials: Bronze, glass paste, glass mosaic, stained glass. Conclusion: This American Art Nouveau style lamp is much more than just a light fixture: it is a functional work of art that will bring elegance and refinement to your home. It is a rare piece, representing a wise investment for both art lovers and discerning collectors. A beautiful, rare, and valuable object that is part of the tradition of great artisan creations and remains more accessible compared to the original Tiffany pieces.

Tiffany glass refers to the many and varied types of glass developed and produced from 1878 to 1933 at the Tiffany Studios in New York, by Louis Comfort Tiffany and a team of other designers, including Clara Driscoll, Agnes F. Northrop and Frederick Wilson. In 1865, Tiffany traveled to Europe, and in London he visited the Victoria and Albert Museum, whose extensive collection of Roman and Syrian glass made a deep impression on him. He admired the coloration of medieval glass and was convinced that the quality of contemporary glass could be improved upon. In his own words, the "Rich tones are due in part to the use of pot metal full of impurities, and in part to the uneven thickness of the glass, but still more because the glass maker of that day abstained from the use of paint". Tiffany was an interior designer, and in 1878 his interest turned toward the creation of stained glass, when he opened his own studio and glass foundry because he was unable to find the types of glass that he desired in interior decoration. His inventiveness both as a designer of windows and as a producer of the material with which to create them was to become renowned. Tiffany wanted the glass itself to transmit texture and rich colors and he developed a type of glass he called "Favrile". The glass was manufactured at the Tiffany factory...
