SALE Vintage Meyda Tiffany Currier & Ives Table Lamp

Collectibles : Lamps, Lighting

 

This is a gorgeous Currier & Ives table lamp which I believe to be custom crafted by Meyda Tiffany of Yorkville, New York.

According to their website, "Thirty years ago, Meyda Tiffany was founded when Meyer Cohen was asked by his wife Ida (whose names were combined into the company name Meyda) to build a stained glass window in their kitchen so they wouldn't have to look at the vintage cars in their neighbor's driveway. What began as a hobby evolved into America's leading and oldest manufacturer of Tiffany lamps and decorative lighting. More than a decade ago, Meyda acquired Quality Bent Glass Company which created original lighting fixtures, including the famous Coca-Cola chandeliers, and supplied them to Tiffany Studios in New York City, during the turn-of-the-century. Meyda utilizes QBG's original tools, molds and techniques to create lighting products today.

In the mid-1990s, Meyda purchased Mecco Art, a metal art studio, and utilizes its equipment and manufacturing techniques to produce the Old Forge line of custom crafted steel sculptured lighting and decor.

Today Meyda is still a family-run business, with Meyer and Ida's son, Robert, at the helm. Meyda offers an extensive line featuring thousands of styles-- from accent pieces to masterpieces. Every Meyda Tiffany item is a unique, handcrafted work of art. Natural variation in the glass and finish make each and every one a masterpiece all its own."

This is one of their earlier lamps as the only Currier and Ives lamps, in this style, currently available on their website is the 15" and 17" size ($153.95 is the lowest price I have found for these much smaller lamps). This one measures 26" tall to the top of finial.

Excellent condition with minimal use wear if any.

Really a wonderful Currier and Ives Lamp.
