Glass Bronze Lead Tiffany Studios Driscoll, Clara P2990 This dragonfly lamp is an example of the Fulford family's taste in the most fashionable luxury goods of their time. The dragonfly shade, one of the Tiffany Studio's most popular designs, was created by Clara Driscoll, who became head of Tiffany's Women's Glass Cutting Department in 1892 and designed the majority of Tiffany's lamps. A version of Tiffany's dragonfly lamp was first publicly shown in French art dealer Siegfried Bing's exhibition L'Art Nouveau at the Grafton Galleries in London in 1899. A year later, the design won a prize at the World's Fair in Paris. In 1906, Tiffany Studios sold the dragonfly lamp for the large sum of $175. 68.0 cm 51.0 cm 51.0 cm 2: Furnishings Lighting Equipment Lighting Devices Lamp Lamp, Table Gift of George Taylor Fulford III image https://OHT.MINISISINC.COM/M3IMAGE/CM_FPM_991_2_852A-F.jpg Cultural Fulford Place Museum ca. 1900 https://OHT.MINISISINC.COM/SCRIPTS/MWIMAIN.DLL/131773177/2/1?ADDSELECTION&COOKIE=BOOKMARK&DBNAME=SELECTION_LIST https://oht.minisisinc.com/scripts/mwimain.dll/131773177?SHOWORDERLIST&COOKIE=BOOKMARK&NEW=Y false 0 962
