Tiffany Studios, 10" blue Favrile floor lamp

ITEM # 1901094

I'm excited to have just acquired this lamp.  As most of you know, blue Favrile shades are very rare.  This one is a beauty, fully decorated with rare spider webbing.  The shade is fairly opaque, so the color of the blue does not fade when illuminated.  It looks almost identical on and off.The base has a fancy decorated column and foot with a gorgeous original patina.  It's one step up the ladder of sophistication and rarity.  Overall, this lamp is the cat's meow.  Fully signed shade and base.Are you aware that the last blue Favrile lamp to come up at auction (Sotheby's New York, December 18, 2008) sold for $40,000 + 25% buyer's premium, for a total of $50,000?  Click on this link: Sotheby's blue Favrile lamp.  That lamp had several large fitter chips and a very ordinary base.  This lamp is a better lamp at a much better price.  It won't last long.

Tiffany Studios, 10" blue wave Favrile counterbalance floor lamp

ITEM # 2004024

The 10" Favrile shade on this lamp is wonderful and different than the typical shade, because of two reasons. First the wave decoration has blue color, instead of the usual green. That alone makes the shade special. Second, the shade is unlined, so it lights up warmer and brighter. The base is a very desirable model, with a wave decorated foot, in very nice condition. Overall, the lamp has no excuses. The shade is very beautiful, fully signed and in extra mint condition. The base is fully signed and in excellent condition. If you're looking for a Tiffany Studios floor lamp that's a cut above the usual, this lamp is for you.

This example is adjustable in height and has a wonderful original patina. The shade also can swing to direct the light to your side chair or sofa. The shade is particulary nice with great green color and ribbing. The base is solid bronze and very heavy, so you needn't worry about an animal knocking it over. Properly signed on the shade and base. Mint condition.

ITEM # 2111006

Tiffany Favrile shades really do vary in quality.  This shade is evidence.  The color is wonderful, the ribs show nicely, and there are two gorgeous intaglio-carved dragonflies.  Favrile shades don't come much better. The counterbalance base is exceptional too, with an original rich green-brown patina in superb condition.  Most people prefer the counterbalance base to the harp base. Other than one very small chip to the fitter rim (completely hidden and only mentioned for accuracy), this lamp is a gem.  10" diameter shade, approximately 58" tall.  Signed shade and base. I sell Tiffany floor lamps very quickly, so make your decision soon, before it's gone.

ITEM # 2511042

I probably buy and sell more Tiffany floor lamps than most any dealer, so I'm familiar with all the nuances. This example is special, mostly because the shade is killer. It's 10" diameter green Favrile with very distinct ribbing (a big plus) and a beautifully intaglio-carved insect near the fitter rim. The five-legged counterbalance floor base is very desirable, especially with a rich, original, green-brown patina. Signed on the shade and base. Excellent condition except for some polishing on the fitter rim (of little importance, completely hidden in the fitter, and only mentioned for accuracy).

Tiffany Studios, 10" gold Favrile floor lamp

ITEM # 2706012

I've recently been lucky enough to purchase several excellent Tiffany Favrile floor lamps. This is one of the examples.  The shade is 10" diameter in a rich butterscotch color, with strong ribbing that shows especially well when lit. The base is a bronze harp, with a wonderful wavy base and a gold doré finish.  The condition of the shade is excellent except for two very small chips on the fitter rim that are completely hidden when attached to the lamp. Additionally there are two tiny air bubbles on the surface, both original. One is open and the other is closed. They're unimportant and only mentioned for accuracy. The finish on the base shows some wear commensurate with its age. The shade has an engraved signature on the fitter rim "L.C.T." and the base is signed underneath "TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 682".

I get about one green Linenfold shade for every five I buy. They're moderately rare and very desirable. This example is a beauty, with vivid green color.

So is the shade, with no hairline cracks and no restoration.

Just got this beauty.  Green Linenfold shades are much rarer than gold shades.  This shade is super mint with a couple of  rare and desirable variations.  The first variation is that the green color in the upper and lower borders are the same but different than the large panels in the center.  The second variation is that on the top of the shade there is beautiful random applied threading.  Just a super little added touch.

Tiffany Studios, 10" red-brown Favrile counterbalance floor lamp

ITEM # 2006207

Most Favrile shades have wave decoration.  This example has King Tut decoration, also known as Damascene.  It's rare to find this decoration on a Tiffany 10" Favrile shade.  This particular shade has really special color.  The gold is so rich that it's really a brown shade with gold King Tut decoration and strong red iridescent highlights -- just spectacular.  The base is a classic five-legged counterbalance with very good patina.  Excellent condition.  Signed shade and base.
