Electric Table Lamp, 1903-1920

When designer Clara Driscoll created this daffodil patterned lamp for Louis Comfort Tiffany she did not realize that it was the first of a series of floral electric lamps shades, which included Wisteria, Poppy and Laburnum. Driscoll was the leader of a group of female designers known as "The Tiffany Girls", all unmarried women who designed and fabricated decorative domestic wares from desk sets to jewelry.
