    base engraved L.C. Tiffany-Favrile
  • favrile glass with applied decoration and gilt.mes tal 

Condition

Overall in very good condition. The coloration and decoration on the shade and base are highly complementary, supporting that both components originated together. The favrile glass with some occasional minute air bubble and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not at all visually detracting. The lower applied glass ring above the foot with two small open apertures along the bottom edge, likely inherent in the making due to the thin walls of the glass. The base has been rewired and in this process the metal washer and bolts on the underside of the standard have been replaced; the base is lacking a cord guide. The metal harp supporting the shade and electrical socket appear to be original. The lamp has been re-wired to include an in-line switch on the electric cord; lacking a paddle switch on the upper socket. With traces of felt on the underside of the base. An attractive example with beautifully rendered decoration. The exterior surfaces are beautifully iridized, imparting the lamp with strong luminous hues throughout. When viewed with reflected light the exterior surfaces appear a rich warm caramel; when viewed with remitted interior light the glass appears a warm yellow-green. The catalogue illustration appears slightly too red in coloration.
