Indian Basket Lamp
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs Indian Basket Lamp as lamp (America, New York · c. 1902–10).
This lamp features dichroic glass, which appears green in reflected light but glows amber when illuminated.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this lamp as Leaded glass, gilt bronze and credits Tiffany Studios (United States, New York, 1902–32).
The museum's collection notes: An admirer of Native American art, Louis Comfort Tiffany amassed a personal collection of textiles, baskets, and pottery, from which he and his designers drew inspiration. He was particularly interested in the way basket weavers formed their patterns using geometric grids, a look he re-created in designs for lamps, such as the Indian Basket lamp.
