Tiffany Studios New York "Nasturtium" Table Lamp

This magnificent Tiffany Studios New York "Nasturtium" table lamp is resplendent in artistry and botanical romance. The vividly colored leaded glass shade blossoms with rich reds, fiery oranges, and sunlit yellows, each petal rendered with a jewel-like intensity. These vibrant nasturtium flowers unfold across a luminous, golden ground—struck with radiant translucence—where broad, shield-like leaves interlace with delicately scaled, twining vines, creating a lush garden scene suspended in glass. This elegant floral canopy rests gracefully atop a richly patinated bronze base, masterfully cast in the opulent Louis XIV style. The base is a vision of classical grandeur, supported by four saber legs lavishly adorned with garlands of laurels, finely wrought acanthus leaves, and detailed floral medallions. The feet resolve in exquisitely modeled reverse scrolls—a harmonious union of volute scroll and slipper foot—that lend the lamp a regal poise and timeless refinement. Echoes of curling tendrils and carved floral motifs throughout the base further enhance its organic elegance, mirroring the botanical theme of the shade above.

Curator's Notes
Perhaps because of its bold, striking color, or its shield-shaped leaf, the nasturtium flower has long been associated with or served as a symbol of victory, often militarily. In the Victorian language of flowers, yellow nasturtiums are a symbol of the elation of victory, while red and crimson nasturtiums represent the passion of struggle.
