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, hand-blown Favrile glass shade, showcasing Tiffany Studios’ celebrated iridescent glassmaking technique. The shade is distinguished by its softly ribbed form and luminous surface, with subtle variations in color and texture that create a beautiful interplay with the light. The hand-blown glass is supported by an organically designed tripod-form patinated bronze base, combining sculptural elegance with the refined metalwork characteristic of Tiffany Studios.

The underside of the bronze base is signed and marked with the impressed number “22322,” as shown in the accompanying photograph. The combination of the original hand-blown Favrile glass shade, distinctive tripod bronze form, and documented Tiffany Studios marking makes this a particularly desirable example of early 20th-century Tiffany Studios craftsmanship.

The candlestick measures 12 3/4 inches high with a diameter of 4 1/2 inches. It is in good antique condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. The beautifully aged patinated bronze and luminous Favrile glass retain the character and craftsmanship associated with Tiffany Studios, making this an elegant and highly collectible example of American Art Nouveau design.

A sophisticated addition to any collection of Tiffany Studios works, Favrile glass, American Art Nouveau, or fine decorative arts, this circa 1910 tripod candlestick beautifully demonstrates the harmony between Tiffany’s innovative glassmaking and distinctive bronze craftsmanship. See less
