Exquisite Tiffany Studios Bronze & Leaded Glass "Feather" Table Lamp, Circa 1915

About the Item

This superb Tiffany Studios table lamp, dating to circa 1915, represents the height of American decorative artistry in the early twentieth century. With its refined conical leaded glass shade, masterfully composed of stylized feather motifs bordered by a geometric band, the lamp reveals the technical brilliance and painterly sensibility for which Tiffany’s workshop is celebrated. The glass itself shimmers with a vibrant play of color—mottled greens, soft amethyst, and pearly opalescence—that captures and transforms light into a living medium, echoing the natural world in abstraction. When lit, the shade radiates with a dynamic glow, a testament to the firm’s mastery of the innovative glass formulas developed under the direction of Louis Comfort Tiffany. The lamp is supported by Tiffany’s iconic “flower base,” a cast bronze form of exceptional weight and balance, with a paneled standard rising gracefully from a stepped circular foot. Its dark patinated surface provides a rich counterpoint to the iridescent brilliance of the shade, while the pierced bronze heat cap above completes the composition with a note of delicate ornament. The shade is signed TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK on the lower inner rim and bears the number 1439-1 on the upper rim; the base is likewise stamped TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 534, affirming its authenticity and distinguished provenance. This lamp remains in excellent antique condition, with only gentle wear consistent with age and use, and is in fine working order. It epitomizes the unrivaled craftsmanship of Tiffany Studios and the aesthetic ideals of the American Art Nouveau movement, embodying both functional design and sculptural beauty. Today, Tiffany lamps of this caliber are highly sought after by collectors and institutions alike, not only as objects of illumination, but as enduring works of art that bridge nature, innovation, and luxury. Standing 21 ½ inches tall, with a shade measuring 6 ½ inches in height and 16 inches in diameter, the piece is of ideal scale, equally suited to a private collection, a refined library or study, or as a commanding focal point in an elegant interior. Its presence evokes the glamour and refinement of the Gilded Age while remaining timeless in appeal, an object that will captivate viewers as much today as it did over a century ago. Shade Condition: appears to be in generally good condition; shade appears to be "in-the-round;" there are approximately three 'feather' glass segments with hairline cracks; there are approximately eight glass segments with hairline cracks at the lower geometric border; no hairline cracks were observed to any of the oval or teardrop-shaped 'peacock eye' glass segments; no apparent evidence of replacement or restoration to any of the individual glass segments; some of the horizontal caming and lower rim band of the shade retain traces of green patina (this patina is mostly worn away elsewhere on the caming on the exterior side); the green patina is more intact on the interior side of the shade Base Condition: the lamp has three light sockets & retains its original brown age patina; the sockets appear to have age; all three on-off light-switch paddles are marked WEBER; the lamp retains its original wiring & all in working condition; the lamp base has a uniform mottled green and chocolate brown patina; the heat cap lacks a screw to allow it to securely and properly screw on to the bronze ring at the top of the base

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.
