This Tiffany Studios geometric leaded glass and bronze table lamp features the iconic Lotus Pagoda shade and its complementary original bronze base. The elegant form of the lotus-inspired shade combines with the beautiful green gradient of the glass tiles to display the unparalleled craftsmanship and innovation of Tiffany Studios. This statuesque lamp shows off the Tiffany hallmarks of nature-inspired aesthetics alongside a beautifully unified artistic form. While many Tiffany shades and bases were interchangeable, this design was conceived as a single floral form, with the base evoking the stem and roots that support a dazzling, incandescent lotus flower above. Other examples of this lamp are in prestigious museum collections such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the St. Louis Art Museum. Louis Comfort Tiffany is internationally recognized as a master of the American decorative arts. Considered to be the driving force behind the Art Nouveau style in America, Tiffany worked in nearly every decorative medium imaginable, but it was his glass creations that are his greatest legacy. This incredible example shows the firm’s astonishing ability to combine whimsy and refinement, resulting in a striking lamp that is a functional work of art. This shade and base are both pictured in Alastair Duncan's Tiffany Lamps and Metalware, 1988, p. 78, nos. 302 and 303.  Circa 1910 Shade marked "Tiffany Studios/New York" Base impressed "Tiffany Studios/New York/28749" 24 1/2" diameter x 30 1/2" height
