Hi Terry and friends. I have a tiffany style hanging lamp that was in my grandfather's Manhattan house when he bought it in the 1920s. Many years ago I was told by and artist who cleaned it for me that it is an original Tiffany, but we have never found a signature. The lead is separating and I'm afraid someday it will end up in two pieces. Any thoughts on how I might approach this? Terry, do you remember the light? It was in my condo dining room.
ReplyDeleteI do remember the lamp, Robin! In fact I might have a picture of it from the old days! Jim will be able to give you a little more insight as to handling the repair. Thanks for posting, Robin!
ReplyDeleteRobin,
ReplyDeleteMetal fatigue on a lampshade is never a good event. It may not be a difficult or costly repair but it should be addressed before it gets worse.
If it is manufactured by Tiffany Studios (ca 1885-1935) you have a very valuable shade and should look to preserve your asset.
If you like, forward a photo and I'll respond.
Thanks,
Jim Watts
Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email with photos of the shade. Looking forward to your advice.
Thanks,
Robin
