Tiffany Studios New York "Japanese" Lantern

Creator: Tiffany Studios
Offered by: Macklowe Gallery, Ltd

Description
This breathtaking Tiffany Studios New York Lantern was fashioned in the style of a Japanese silk illuminaire. Suspended from an elaborate bronze canopy, the coloring of the green glass segments is suggestive of watercolor, the streaky quality of the glass denoting the interlocking fibers of mulberry paper that would have been employed in the traditional artisanal manufacture of Japanese paper lamps. This lantern is emblematic of Tiffany’s ability to seamlessly marry the aesthetics of East and West; forging a distinctly American sense of design.
