Founded by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Tiffany Studios became one of the most influential and celebrated decorative arts workshops of its time, renowned for its innovative use of Favrile glass, masterful bronze work, and highly distinctive Art Nouveau designs inspired by the natural world. Tiffany Studios’ handcrafted lighting and decorative objects remain among the most sought-after examples of American decorative arts.

This elegant candlestick features a beautifully executed ribbed pulled-feather Favrile glass shade, showcasing Tiffany’s renowned iridescent glassmaking technique. The hand-blown shade displays delicate feather-like pulled decoration with subtle variations in color and texture, creating a luminous surface that changes beautifully with the light. The shade is supported by an organically inspired patinated bronze base, demonstrating the refined metalwork and attention to detail characteristic of Tiffany Studios creations.

The glass shade is stamped/etched "L.C.T.," the initials of Louis Comfort Tiffany, and the bronze base is stamped/impressed "TIFFANY STUDIOS 10066," confirming its manufacture by Tiffany Studios. The combination of the original Tiffany Favrile glass shade, numbered bronze base, and exceptional craftsmanship makes this piece a remarkable surviving example of early 20th-century Tiffany Studios artistry.

The candlestick measures 16 1/4 inches high by 5 1/4 inches wide by 5 1/4 inches deep. It is in great antique condition, with no cracks, chips, or repairs, and retains its original patinated bronze finish, with minor wear consistent with age and use.
