Lamp of the Week: 12″ Acorn

With their straight forward geometric background and decorative band, Acorn shades have always been a favorite Tiffany lamp pattern. The design was originally called a Vine pattern, but today everyone refers to this design as an acorn. This 12″ Acorn shade is more vine-like in coloration with a lush green lightly mottled background and darker green acorns (or leaves). Complimenting the shade is the finely detailed Chinese base (16″ tall). The design for this base matches the Chinese desk set pieces created by Tiffany Studios. We created this lamp in 2010 for a client in New York City.
