Tiffany Studios Grape Lamp

Tiffany Studios 18" Grape shade, model #348, on an original Tree Trunk Base. Circa 1903 

The Grape is one of Tiffany Studios' sculptural lamp designs, a group of models where the shade and base were conceived as a single unified composition and always sold together. Introduced around 1903, the shade features an open bronze vine framework with broad grape leaves in vivid greens and yellow-greens, and dimensional clusters of blue and purple grapes that hang below the lower edge, creating an irregular, naturalistic silhouette. When illuminated, the leaves glow with warm golden and amber light filtering through the greens. The Tree Trunk Base rises from a wide circular foot, its textured bronze surface mimicking natural bark, completing the illusion of a living grapevine. Overall height is approximately 27 inches.
