Sotherby’s of New York will be offering for sale ‘Important Tiffany’ featuring 40 lots of excellent examples of leaded glass lamps, bronze objects and favrile vases. The exhibition will be open for viewing from December 13th

The sale includes pieces from the collection of John Fowler and features a Pebble table lamp from 1900-1902 which has pebble decoration and a rare ‘Pumpkin’ base. This particular design was introduced in the late 1890′2 by the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company and has a shade made from bands of flowerheads with chiseled glass centers. The attention to detail is outstanding and the lamp was probably introduced when the firm initially started developing the market for glass lampshades. A further offering is a ‘Tulip’ table lamp from 1905 with six favrile candles and a rare ‘Empire’ base.

An Example of a Peacock Vase

Other offerings in the sale include a selection of favrile vases including a ‘peacock’ vase from 1895 which was produced early in Tiffany’s glass production period. There is also a favrile fireplace surround and a ‘Fish Scale’ floor lamp from 1910 with elaborate favrile mosaic base.
