Lamp

1900–1930

Not on view

This five-branch pond-lily lamp in the Art Nouveau style probably imitates a better known Tiffany design that was awarded a gold medal at the international exposition held in Turin in 1902. The Handel Company of Meriden, Connecticut, held a patent for a two-branch pond-lily lamp, dated 1902, a fact which would support a similar date for this five-branch version.
