Counter Balance Desk Lamp
Louis Comfort Tiffany
Circa 1900

Designed by the iconic Louis Comfort Tiffany, this exceptional desk lamp is the pinnacle of Art Nouveau design. The original patinated bronze base is one of his rare counterbalance models, which exudes both elegance and brilliant ingenuity. The fixture is perfectly balanced so that the shade's height can be easily adjusted, making this lamp the ideal blend of artistry and functionality.

The magnificent hand-blown Favrile lampshade features Tiffany's famed Damascene Wave pattern and the luminous iridescent finish for which the studio was famed. The shade's mesmerizing color palette shifts between golden ambers, soft pinks and much more, making the surface come alive with movement and radiance.

Louis Comfort Tiffany is internationally recognized as a master of the American decorative arts. Considered the driving force behind the Art Nouveau style in America, Tiffany is known best for his striking lamps and stained-glass windows. His discovery of what he called “Favrile” glass (derived from an old English word meaning “handcrafted”) in 1881 catapulted his reputation internationally. By the 1890s, he was the leading art glass producer, serving wealthy New Yorkers and working on commissions for Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. Now, the rarity and elegance of Tiffany’s lamps make them some of the most desired antiques of all time, confirming his legacy as a legendary Art Nouveau visionary.

The shade is marked "L.C.T." and the base "Tiffany Studios/New York/417"
