Description
‘Daffodil’ table lamp by Tiffany Studios
American, c. 1910
Height 56cm, diameter 40cm

Designed and hand-made by the artisans from the renowned Tiffany Studios (1902-1932), this ‘Daffodil’ table lamp is an example of the studio’s creations which are now considered design icons.

The lampshade is made from leaded glass. The process of its creation was very time-consuming as its makers, some of the best in America, hand-picked the best and most appropriate glass pieces for this design. Coloured glass pieces in shades of yellow, orange and green are arranged to portray daffodils in full bloom, among greenery in front of a sunny background. The expertly made illustration is eye-catching and can easily be recognised as one of the Tiffany Studios creations. The colours of the lampshade come alive once the light is switched on.

The vivid lampshade stands on a patinated bronze stem of a slender form terminating in a larger round base. The top and bottom of the stand are cast with flowing and elongated s-shaped forms, larger on the base and smaller on the top. Such organic forms are synonymous with the Art Nouveau style popular during the early 20th century.

Maker’s mark reading ‘TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1449’ are impressed in the leading on the lampshade and another one reading ‘TIFFANY STUDIOS / NEW YORK / 584’ is stamped on the underside of the stand.

Hand-made in Tiffany Studio’s premises in Queens, New York, this table lamp would form a fantastic addition to one’s collection of important early 20th-century decorative and functional objects.
