Tiffany-Style Wisteria Stained Glass Table Lamp
This is a decorative table lamp featuring a highly intricate leaded stained-glass shade in the iconic 'Wisteria' pattern, popularized by Tiffany Studios in the early 20th century. The shade is characterized by a dense, organic arrangement of numerous small glass segments in shades of cobalt blue, violet, lavender, and soft pink, interspersed with green leaf-like panels near the crown. The shade features a distinctive irregular, scalloped lower border intended to mimic the natural trailing blossoms of a wisteria vine. It rests upon a cast metal base designed to resemble a tree trunk, with deep vertical fluting that flows into a spreading root-like foundation. The metal base possesses a dark bronze or verdigris patina. Notable features include dual pull-chain sockets and a small blue paper identification tag attached to the shade. While the style dates back to the Art Nouveau period (circa 1900-1910), the bright coloration and visible socket construction suggest this is a high-quality contemporary or late 20th-century reproduction rather than an antique original. The glass appears intact without prominent cracks, though some light surface dust is visible. The craftsmanship demonstrates significant labor in the copper-foil assembly of several hundred individual glass pieces.
