Tiffany Studios New York "Curtain" Border Floor Lamp
SOLD
Stark geometry begins to dance in the exciting composition of this Tiffany Studios New York "Curtain Border" lamp. Tiles of mottled amber, yellow and rich orange-red hues, arranged in a large field, dominate the dome of the shade while the lower border, in lighter tones of lemon yellow and yellowish-green is comprised of perfectly upright vertical glass panels. Where the two patterns meet joy ensues, as an intricate motif of half moon shapes of various sizes bounces the eye delightfully in every direction.
