Lot 126
Description:
An American Leaded Glass and Patinated Bronze Six-Light Chandelier, early 20th c., of Renaissance inspiration, attributed to Duffner & Kimberly, New York, six panel ovoid body with black fleur-de-lis on a gold ground, the bronze frame with strapwork cartouches, long chain with strapwork links, C-scroll arms, electrified.
- Notes: Note: One of the leading leaded glass lighting designers of the early 20th century, Duffner & Kimberly competed directly and successfully with such firms as Tiffany Studios, Pairpoint and Handel. While the company's artistic output was not as progressive as Tiffany Studios, Duffner & Kimberly's excellent craftsmanship and niche production of historical styles such as Louis XIV, Roman, or Renaissance, as exemplified here, placed them on par with leading contemporary design firms. The fine workmanship and well-modeled strapwork demonstrated in the present lot relate closely to Duffner & Kimberly's oeuvre. Furthermore, the bowl's three interior bronze bulb fixtures are marked as "Bryant/Pat'd Nov. 26, 1907, " a date which correlates with their short production period of 1905-1913.
