'Dogwood’ Lamp Shade, circa 1910

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Overall very good condition with very few light surface scratches and minor wear commensurate with age and gentle use. The shade presents with a delicate band of white opal dogwood flowers and olive green leaves surrounded by a geometric background in mottled tawny green tones. The glass presents with minor surface irregularities, very few minute inclusions, and a few scattered air bubbles inherent in the making and not visually distracting. The glass with a few light surface scratches and light soiling concentrated to recessed areas. The shade with approximately 25 cracks to the glass tiles, yet stable. The later European base presents with a warm brown patina and red overtones. The metal surfaces with light scratches, minor wear, abrasions, and scattered areas of light oxidation typical with aging of this material. The six light cluster appears to be later added to the claw foot base with period sockets outfitted with pull chains. The underside of the base spuriously marked TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK four times. With reproduction wheel, riser, and 'Pigtail' heat cap.

Please note that while the lamp appears to be in working condition, Christie’s does not guarantee the functionality of the electrical components.
