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.
