I will be writing blogs again, but only occasionally.
If you’ve been following the Tiffany Studios lamp market, you might have noticed that the market is doing quite well. Following are a few examples from the last few months to illustrate my point.
On March 21, 2024, Rago Auctions of Lambertvile, NJ, sold a very unusual 16″ diameter Daffodil table lamp, with pink glass, for $113,400, including buyer’s premium, approximately double the estimate of $40,000 – $60,000. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen pink glass in the background of a Tiffany lamp, so you know this one was rare. Nice job, Mike!
On May 18, 2024, Fontaine Auctions of Pittsfield, MA, sold a lovely 18″ diameter Tulip lamp. Estimated to sell for $70,000 – $90,000, it realized $131,250, including buyer’s premium. Nice job, John!
On May 30, 2024, Cottone Auctions of Geneseo, NY, sold a beautiful 22″ diameter Dogwood table lamp for $162,000, including buyer’s premium, against an estimate of $60,000 – $80,000. Nice job, Matt!
Sotheby’s New York held a Design sale on June 6, 2024. Lot #178 was a beautiful “Four Seasons” variety of a 22″ Nasturtium. By that I mean the colors changed completely as you went around the shade. The other side was much more pastel, with yellow flowers. It made for a dramatic lamp that I really wanted to buy. But no such luck. It sold for $156,000, against a pre-sale estimate of $70,000 – $100,000.
Click Philip Chasen Antiques to take a look at my new offerings. I will make every effort to actively list new items as often as time permits. There are many items for sale, sold items with prices and free lessons about glass and lamps. Don’t forget, I’m still buying, so let me know what you have to sell or want to buy or trade.
