Tiffany Studios
A Rare & Early Pair of “Turtle-Back” Lanterns

circa 1895
leaded glass, favrile glass, bronze
12 in. high x 10 in. diameter (lantern only)
50 in. drop

Coming to auction May 31

Estimate: $200,000-300,000

Louis Comfort Tiffany was a master in his craft and dedicated himself to innovative designs for lighting interior spaces. These exceptional and rare pair of lanterns are of significance not only due to their design and beauty, but also their early history. As viewed in Louis Comfort Tiffany and Laurelton Hall: An Artist’s Country Estate, New York, 2006, p. 137, a similar spherical lantern is shown with a Turtle-Back band and similar hardware of interlocking circles.

These extremely rare “Turtle-Back” tiles differ from the usual examples seen, which are made of blue, green, white or red glass. They were made with transparent and internally decorated glass with vibrant multi-color iridescence to the outside. Bordering the band at the top and bottom are geometric tiles displaying fiery tones of red and orange.

The flared opening in the back of each indicates the lanterns were originally intended to be lit by a gas flame and not electricity. The angle of the flares opening shows that they were most likely made for a room with rounded walls, to bring out the full potential of the magnificent glass in these lanterns.
