Dragonfly Motif Stained Glass Table Lamp

This item is a decorative table lamp featuring a leaded stained glass shade executed in the iconic Dragonfly pattern, heavily inspired by the designs of Louis Comfort Tiffany. The shade is constructed using the copper foil method, featuring a vibrant palette of deep reds, oranges, and yellows in the background, punctuated by jewel-toned glass cabochons in sapphire blue and emerald green. The primary motif consists of several dragonflies along the lower scalloped rim, with their bodies rendered in red glass and their wings featuring intricate filigree overlays that simulate natural transparency. The lamp sits upon a cast metal base with an antiqued bronze finish, characterized by a fluted, urn-shaped pedestal and a stepped circular foot. While the design is Art Nouveau in style, the overall finish of the metal and the brightness of the glass suggest this is a high-quality late 20th-century reproduction or a contemporary 'Tiffany-style' piece rather than an original early 1900s antique. The piece appears to be in good functional condition with no visible cracks in the glass panels, though some light oxidation or dust is apparent on the metal base and leading. The lamp features dual pull-chain switches with small metal finials for operation.
