Rare Linenfold Double Student Table Lamp Tiffany Studio

Creator: Tiffany Studios
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A Linenfold Favrile Glass Double Student Lamp from Tiffany Studio (1878-1933) circa 1910-20s. This rare model features two matching amber colored glass shades supported by rubbed bronze lamp frame and base. The shade each feature twelve linenfold glass panels bordered by smaller and thicker upper and lower glass trim panels. There is a loop on top of the frame which was used to move the lamp easily. The arm is free to swing, and the height can also be adjusted. Both shades are marked "Tiffany Studios / New York". The base is marked "Tiffany Studios / New York / 381". Sockets and wires all appear original and function well.
From 1913 to 1914, the independent designer Henry O. Schmidt (1860–1943) patented a new type of mold-cast glass lampshade panels for Tiffany Studios to imitate delicately pleated silk. Under the directorship of Leslie Hayden Nash, Tiffany Studios offered an expanded range of lampshades in this new Favrile Fabrique style including the double student lamp model. The linenfold lamps were retailed at one of the highest prices among Tiffany favrile lamps at the time of their production.
