Tiffany Studios New York Pair of "Jeweled" Candlesticks
$13,500
Created by Tiffany Studios New York, this pair of whimsical, yet stately, candlesticks offers a wonderful opportunity to collect some of the firm's strongest design elements. Richly iridescent "jeweled" glass orbs shine as they decorate the girdle of the candle holder, itself rendered in a rewardingly rounded shape. Supporting the upper receptacle is a tri-pod of long, sweeping legs that turn delicately outward with charming baubles also in patinated bronze serving as feet.

It is clear from Tiffany's body of work that light was a lasting preoccupation of his, with the then-modern advancement of the light bulb being utilized in a revolutionary fashion in his trademark lamps. Of equal interest are the careful compositions Tiffany created around ancient sources of light, such as these candlesticks, which show just as much innovation in design.
