Story
The 1970s and 80s saw a massive cultural resurgence of the Art Nouveau aesthetic, as homeowners grew tired of the sterile, mass-produced plastics of the mid-century and longed for the 'hand of the artist' once more.
Maker / Origin
While the specific workshop for this piece is unidentified, it follows the tradition established by Louis Comfort Tiffany, who revolutionized glassmaking by using opalescent glass and copper foil.
Condition & Value
The glass panels appear to be in excellent condition with no visible 'heat cracks' or spidering. The lead lines show a consistent patina, and the top brass cap is intact. Excellent condition in leaded glass is rare and significantly preserves the value.
