This exceptional Tiffany Studios Tripod candlestick with Feather Favrile glass shade was created in the United States by Tiffany Studios of New York during the early 20th century, circa 1910. 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 hand-blown Favrile glass shade decorated with a delicate feather-like pattern, showcasing Tiffany Studios’ celebrated iridescent glassmaking technique. The glass displays subtle variations in color, texture, and translucency, creating a luminous and richly dimensional surface that changes beautifully with the surrounding light. The organic feather decoration is particularly characteristic of Tiffany’s fascination with natural forms, while the hand-blown construction gives the shade the individual variations and tactile quality associated with fine Favrile glass.
The glass shade is supported by an organically designed tripod-form base crafted in patinated bronze. The three gracefully shaped legs provide a sculptural foundation for the glass while demonstrating the refined metalwork and naturalistic design vocabulary characteristic of Tiffany Studios. The underside of the bronze base is impressed “TIFFANY STUDIOS” together with the distinctive “TS” logo, as shown in the accompanying photograph. The combination of the original hand-blown Favrile glass shade, sculptural tripod bronze base, and Tiffany Studios impressed mark makes this a particularly desirable example of early 20th-century Tiffany Studios craftsmanship.
The candlestick measures 14 inches high with a diameter of 3 3/4 inches. It is in good antique condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. The patinated bronze has developed a beautiful aged surface, while the hand-blown Favrile glass retains its luminous quality and distinctive feather decoration.
A sophisticated and highly collectible example of early 20th-century Tiffany Studios craftsmanship, this circa 1910 Tripod candlestick beautifully demonstrates Louis Comfort Tiffany’s innovative approach to combining hand-blown Favrile glass with sculptural bronze. It would make a distinguished addition to a collection of Tiffany Studios works, American Art Nouveau, Favrile glass, or fine decorative arts.
