The
22" Chestnut
is a Century Studios' interpretation of a Tiffany Studios shade
design which does not appear to have been produced. A Tiffany Studios
salesman's sample panel showing one pattern repeat is in the collection of the Morse Museum in
Florida and appears in several books. Using a photograph of the panel
and general measurements as our guide, we decided to create the shade as
a
22" modified turban shape. The shape fit the pattern well and
at the 22" shade size the flowers and leaves appeared to be life sized -
something that is common in most Tiffany floral shade designs.
Using the original sample panel as our color inspiration, the shade is
rendered in rich, saturated colors. The abundant flowers at the top of
the shade are pink and red with hints of
off-white. Large leaves overlap one another on the lower half of the
shade. The leaves blend from vibrant reds mixed with orange into green
and yellow. The deep blue and green fracture glass background at the
bottom of the shade lightens to blue with pink at the top.
Created in 2011 for a client in Illinois, the shade is shown on the
Twisted Vine base.
