Tiffany Studios New York "Eighteen Light Lily" Table Lamp

About the Item

This Tiffany Studios New York glass and patinated bronze "Eighteen-Light-Lily" table lamp, featuring eighteen golden iridescent Favrile glass "Lily" shades on individual bronze stems extending upwards from an "Lily Pad" base. A rare distinguishing feature of this example is the "statuary patina" finish that involved copper-plating the bronze, acid-etching the surface and then exposing the metal to acids and pigments to result in a mellow grayish-brown patina that achieves greater fidelity to nature. ntricately sculpted and detailed patinated bronze "Lily This exquisite and unique "Lily" lamp marks the combination of two of Tiffany's favorite floral motifs, the pond lily and the morning glory. These shades take the form of morning glories; entranced by their polychromatic brilliance and trumpet-like shape, and inspired by popularly distributed Japanese woodblock prints, Louis Comfort Tiffany made many water-color paintings of morning glories and meditated on them frequently.

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.
