Story
The turn of the 20th century saw a radical shift in design where artists like Louis Comfort Tiffany sought to hide the 'harshness' of the newly invented light bulb behind nature-inspired glass.
Maker / Origin
While the original 'Lily' lamps were pioneered by Tiffany Studios in New York, this piece is consistent with high-end revival makers such as Dale Tiffany or similar boutique glass studios.
Condition & Value
The glass shades appear to be in excellent condition without visible chips or cracks, which is the primary value driver. Value is driven by the condition of the glass shades and the detail of the figural casting.
