Tiffany Studios New York "Peony" Table Lamp
This magnificent Tiffany Studios New York "Peony" lamp is among the most exquisite of its kind. The shade is covered with rich burgundy, magenta, fuschia, and burnt umber petals. Each bloom is contrasted by a dark periwinkle and burnt sienna ground. The lush bouquet of oversized blooms dances playfully with three bands of green geometric tiles, ducking behind and spilling over the striations of specially-rippled glass. The floral shade sits atop a patinated bronze library "onion" base.
