Tiffany Studios New York "Spider" Table Lamp
A Tiffany Studios New York "Spider" leaded glass and patinated bronze table lamp. A patinated bronze spider finial shade, its legs dividing its web into six panels with a funnel glass peaking through. Each panel is composed of striated glass tiles that evoke the delicate threads of real spider's webs. The shade is integrated with a dark patinated bronze base. This Tiffany Studios New York glass and bronze “Spider” table lamp features a mottled green and light blue glass shade atop a patinated bronze “Inverted Mushroom” base. With Gothic, arachnid-type raised veins spreading from the clawed top of the lamp, the starkly geometric and roughly monochromatic lamp is far from simplistic, as a broadly scalloped border adds to the sense that elements of this amazing lamp are alive.
