Dragonfly Tiffany-Style Table Lamp

This is a small decorative table lamp inspired by the iconic Tiffany Studios 'Dragonfly' design. The shade is constructed using the traditional copper foil method (Favrile technique) and features leaded stained glass in shades of cobalt blue, cyan, and deep red. The focal point of the shade is a series of downward-pointing dragonflies with long red bodies and outstretched wings made of amber-colored glass with a fine filigree pattern to mimic veins. The shade also incorporates turquoise and deep purple glass 'cabochons' or 'jewels' that protrude from the surface, adding textural depth. The base is made of cast metal with a dark bronze-toned patina, featuring a scalloped foundation decorated with raised dragonfly motifs, connecting both design elements. The lamp appears to be a late 20th-century or 21st-century reproduction rather than an early 20th-century original, indicated by the cord type and modern wiring visible. The condition appears sound, with no visible cracks in the glass panes or cabochons, though minimal oxidation may be present on the solder lines. The craftsmanship mimics the Arts and Crafts aesthetic with detailed metalwork on the base and intricate glass assembly in the shade.
