School Of Tiffany Studios Bronze Desk Lamp Favrile Damascene Aurene Quezal Shade
THIS LAMP IS QUITE A MYSTERY. IT CAME FROM A GOOD ESTATE, HOWEVER, THE ORIGIN OF THE MAKER IS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THE LAMP IS FROM THE PERIOD OF LAMPS DONE BY LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY STUDIOS OR HANDEL OR DUFFNER & KIMBERLY.
THE BASE IS MADE OF BRONZE. THE SHADE IS DAMASCENE WITH AN AURENE FAVRILE IRIDESCENT PATTERN.
NEITHER THE BASE OR THE SHADE IS SIGNED. THE FITTER IS 4 INCHES. THE SHADE IS 10 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND APPEARS TO EITHER BE AN UNSIGNED TIFFANY, QUEZAL OR STEUBEN. THE LAMP BASE STANDS 16 INCHES HIGH. THE PATINA OF THE BRONZE LAMP BASE IS VERY NICE. THE SHADE HAS A SMALL CHIP ON THE EDGE WHICH IMPACTS THE VALUE OF THE SHADE IN THIS STATE BUT IT COULD BE REPAIRED BY AN ART GLASS EXPERT.THE CHIP CAN ONLY BE SEEN FROM ONE ANGLE SO THE LAMP LOOKS GREAT WHEN THE CHIP IS PLACED ON THE BACK END OF THE SHADE. THIS LAMP MAY HAVE ORIGINALLY BEEN AN OIL LAMP LATER CONVERTED TO ELECTRICITY.
THE 4 INCH BRONZE FITTER AND SCREWS ARE DEFINITELY THE SAME ONES USED BY TIFFANY STUDIOS BUT NOTHING ELSE CAN BE VERIFIED AS TIFFANY WITH MY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE. THIS LAMP COULD BE A PROTOTYPE LAMP DONE BY TIFFANY STUDIOS OR ONE OF THE OTHER LAMP COMPANIES FROM THE ERA. IT COULD ALSO BE A CUSTOM MADE LAMP BY AN ARTISAN THAT WORKED IN ONE OF THE STUDIOS OF THE ART NOUVEAU OR ART DECO ERA.
THE 4 FITTER AND SHADE ARE DEFINITELY VERY RARE. THE SHADE HAS SOME SIGNS OF AGE WITH CRAQUELURE IN THE GLAZE.THE BASE HAS A WOOD BOTTOM SCREWED INTO THE LAMP BASE. I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE BOTTOM AND LOOKED FOR MARKS INSIDE THE LAMP BASE BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY. THERE IS A MAKE AN OFFER BUTTON AND ALL OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED AFTER SOME MORE TIME RESEARCHING THIS LAMP. COMMENTS FROM EXPERTS ARE SINCERELY WELCOMED.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LAMP THAT WILL ADD A TOUCH OF CLASS AND QUIET ELEGANCE TO ANY HOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU.
