About the Item

An exciting example of Tiffany's remarkable ability to create beauty on all scales, Tiffany Studios New York "Pony Begonia" leaded glass and bronze table lamp is a masterpiece of petite proportions. A field of intricately intertwined begonia blooms dominates the composition, while green leaves comprised of mottled glass peak through at enticing intervals. Cerulean blue sky peaks behind the bottom border of the shade providing a pleasing contrast. The shade has a top with elaborate openwork and sits on a "Tree Trunk" base decorated with raised vines Item #: L-21891 Artist: Tiffany Studios New York Country: United States Circa: 1900's Dimensions: 13.5" diameter, 17" height. Materials: Leaded Glass, Bronze Shade Signed: Tiffany Studios New York Base Signed: Tiffany Studios New York 6086 Literature: William Feldstein, Jr. and Alastair Duncan, The Lamps of Tiffany Studios, New York, 1983, pp. 152-153 Martin Eidelberg, Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen, Nancy A. McClelland and Lars Rachen, The Lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany, New York, 2005, pp. 157 and 159 Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: A "Pony" lamp is a lamp produced on a much smaller scale than the typical desk lamp. But far from being a diminutive example of Tiffany's work, the creator took great pride in his "Pony" creations, as they served as evidence of his ability to create intricate, elaborate, and truly majestic patterns on any scale. And, unlike the Wisteria, which comes in both a larger size and a "Pony" size, this lamp was only ever created on the "Pony" scale.

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.

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...
