A spectacular example of a Tiffany Lily Lamp, one of the most iconic lamp designs produced by Tiffany Studios.
This example comprising 18 gold Tiffany Favrile Glass "Lily" shades with pale lavender and blue iridescence and ruffled rims. The bronze “Lily Pad” table base in rich brown patina features a circular foot formed by bronze lily pads and bulbs with chased details.
The Lily Lamp was one of Tiffany's first electrified lamp designs; the design would not have been possible without the ability to thread thin electrical wires through the metal "stems" to power the lily bulbs.
Tiffany Studios was awarded the grand prize after exhibiting an 18-Light Lily Lamp at the 1902 World’s Fair, held in Turin, Italy.
