Tiffany Studios New York Jeweled Candlestick with Tulip shade
$9,500
Created by Tiffany Studios New York, this stately candlestick offers a wonderful opportunity to collect some of the firm's strongest design elements. This stunning Tiffany Studios New York desk lamp features a “tulip” shade is a light yellow with green pulled feather decoration. Nine richly iridescent glass cabochons shine as they decorate the girdle of the candle holder, itself rendered in a rewardingly rounded shape. A small knob decorated with a braided pattern allows the user to switch the lamp on and off. The lamp's intricate bronze base complements the exquisite glasswork, culminating in a piece that epitomizes the artistry and craftsmanship of Tiffany Studios.

Tiffany's glass cabochons were a signature aspect of Tiffany's design. Used in his redesign of the White House for President, reporters remarked on their beauty. Inspired by emeralds and the natural iridescence found in nature, these cabochons sparkle when lit.
