This important Tiffany Studios floor lamp features a splendid 24-inch Curtain Border shade and its original patinated bronze base. Among Tiffany’s most iconic designs, this monumental shade cleverly evokes the timeless glamour of a fringed lampshade.
This particular example exhibits the highly desirable blend of amber and golden yellows, radiating with a warm glow when light passes through it. The shade is topped with an artful original bronze finial that adds dynamic movement to the design and complements the fluid curves of the bronze base. Tiffany's signature nature-inspired aesthetics, careful craftsmanship and intensity of color combine to make this statuesque lamp among Tiffany’s most elegant.
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.
