This exquisite Tiffany Studios New York "Twelve-light lily" floor lamp marks the combination of two of Tiffany's favorite floral motifs, the pond lily, and the morning glory. These shades take the form of morning glories. Inspired by Japanese woodblock prints, Tiffany made many watercolor paintings or morning glories, entranced by their polychromatic brilliance and trumpet-like shape. Tiffany took his lily table lamp to the Paris and Turin World's Fairs around the turn of the century, where the American lamp made waves in the French Art Nouveau movement. The floor lamp was a later variant that combined Tiffany’s twisted vine base with his pond lily base to create the illusion of a plant’s long tendrils. It is outfitted with shades of particular delicacy and iridescence that would have accommodated the faint light from the then newly-invented light bulbs.
