Tiffany Studios New York "Counter Balance Damascene" Desk Lamp
This charming Tiffany Studios New York Favrile glass desk lamp, features a bright green "Damascene" shade on a patinated bronze "Counter-Balance" base decorated with "Turtleback" glass. The counter balance weight is perhaps one of Louis Comfort Tiffany's most charming and exciting designs, as a beautiful feature of visually rich and heavy "Turtleback" tiles are keeping the lovely light green and feather-light-looking "Damascene" shade elevated.
