Tiffany Studios New York "Tulip" Table Lamp
This Tiffany Studios New York "Tulip" leaded glass and bronze table lamp features a large shade dominated by dense field of blossoming deep red tulip flowers. The shade's landscape is complete with the inclusion of dynamic, multi-hued shoots and leaves that tease the underside of the bloom, and even the beautiful, rich earth from which they sprout. An earth-colored band hugs the bouquet of blooms as it circles the shade, adding dimension. The shade sits atop a patinated bronze reticulated "Queen Anne's Lace" base.
