Tiffany Studios New York "Mandarin" Table Lamp
This Tiffany Studios New York "Mandarin" table lamp, considered among the most architecturally complex of the firm's designs, features an ombre leaded glass shade that graduates subtly in hue from the most viridian green to an almost milky white, and sits on a patinated bronze base specifically designed to accompany it. The lamp is notable for its Eastern influence, as the shape of the shade designed to mimic that of a Japanese parasol as well as a lotus leaf, and for its early hybridization of the two tranches of Tiffany Studios New York designs; the geometric and the floral.

A similar lamp was used to decorate the living room at Falling Water, the famous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home in rural Pennsylvania. Its seamless incorporation into a home as modern as Wright's is a testament to the timelessness of Tiffany Studios New York's works.
