Tiffany Studios
Circa 1920
This exceptional table lamp was created by the iconic Tiffany Studios and belonged to the personal collection of the artistic visionary Louis Comfort Tiffany. In addition to his many artistic talents, Tiffany was a gifted interior decorator, and he selected only the most remarkable pieces for his many residences. This lamp was prominently displayed in his grand Miami home, known as Comfort Lodge.
This stunning lamp embodies the height of Tiffany Studios’ artistic achievement in the early 20th century. Its iconic Damascene shade shimmers with iridescent brilliance in a range of warm amber and gold tones. Rather than a traditional patinated bronze base, this lamp features a rare gilt bronze base beautifully enameled with bright blue accents, perfectly complementing its radiant shade. Together, these elements represent the harmonious blend of artistry and innovation that made Tiffany Studios a defining force in American decorative arts.
Louis Comfort Tiffany’s Comfort Lodge was built on Miami’s “Millionaire Row” in the 1920s as his winter estate. The home’s distinctive octagonal shape, disappearing walls and windows, and cypress tree supports attracted much attention at the time, and local newspapers reported that the house cost Tiffany an astonishing $40,000—at a time when the average home cost $4,000.
Tiffany frequented Comfort Lodge until his death in 1933, and the handlers of his estate sold the home and all of its contents to a businessman named David Scobie in 1935. Mr. Scobie gifted some of Tiffany’s belongings left in the house—including this lamp—to his business associate and his family, the Martins, who kept these items in their family collection in Florida for decades. This lamp stands as both a testament to Tiffany Studios’ magnificent craftsmanship and to the unparalleled vision of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
