Tiffany Studios New York “Border Dogwood” Table Lamp

Regular square panels of amber, pink, and green mottled glass dominate the shade, interrupted by a joyful border of bright white, pastel pink and peachy orange dogwood blooms framed by multihued green leaves. A masterful trick of perspective suggests that the dogwood border has been superimposed over the background, with the life-sized blooms seemingly contending for space to unfurl within the limited confines of the border. The breathtaking fern-shaped base is adorned with evening primrose leaves, a wildflower often found alongside ferns in their natural habitat. Additionally, the stem is decorated with the curled young fronds of the maidenhair spleenwort, a plant typically found on wet cliffs and old stone walls.
