Tiffany Studios Counterbalance Floor Lamp
Counterbalance Floor Lamp
Tiffany Studios
Circa 1900
Designed by the iconic Tiffany Studios, this exceptional floor lamp is a masterwork of Art Nouveau design. The original patinated bronze base is one of Tiffany's rare counterbalance floor models, which exudes both elegance and brilliant ingenuity. The fixture is perfectly balanced so that the shade's height can be easily adjusted, making this lamp the ideal blend of Louis Comfort Tiffany's artistry and design genius.
The magnificent hand-blown Favrile lampshade features Tiffany's famed Damascene Wave pattern and the luminous iridescent finish for which the studio was famed. The shade's mesmerizing color palette shifts between electric greens, soft pinks, golden yellows and much more, making the surface come alive with movement and radiance.
Louis Comfort Tiffany is internationally recognized as a master of the American decorative arts. Considered the driving force behind the Art Nouveau movement in America, Tiffany is known best for his striking lamps and stained-glass windows. His discovery in 1881 of what he called “Favrile” glass (derived from an old English word meaning “hand-crafted”) catapulted his reputation worldwide. By the 1890s, he was the leading art glass producer in the United States, serving wealthy New Yorkers and working on commissions for Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. Now, the rarity and elegance of Tiffany’s lamps make them some of the most desired antiques of all time, confirming his legacy as an icon of American design.
The shade is marked "L.C.T. Favrile" and the base "Tiffany Studios/New York/677"
