Tiffany Studios New York "Curtain Border" Chandelier
Stark geometry begins to dance in the exciting composition of this Tiffany Studios New York "Curtain Border" lamp. Tiles of mottled amber, yellow and greenish hues, arranged in a large field, dominate the dome of the shade while the lower border, in lighter tones of lemon yellow and yellowish-white is comprised of perfectly upright vertical glass panels. Where the two patterns meet joy ensues, as an intricate motif of green four-pointed stars bounces the eye delightfully in every direction.
