Tiffany candelabra come in many variations from single candles to twelve candles. They also come in both candle and electric versions, with or without shades.
This example is one of the rarest and the best. It's a 6-branch candelabrum, originally electric, with 6 matching shades and jeweled candle holders. It also comes with a snuffer in the back, which is just decorative, since you can't snuff out electric bulbs. The switch is in the front.
The patina is original and gorgeous. The candelabrum is properly signed underneath, as well as each shade on its fitter rim. The condition of the shades is excellent, with only a few minor nicks on the fitter rims of some of the shades.
You would be hard pressed to find a rarer or better example. It's for the BEST COLLECTIONS!
Tiffany produced several models of solid-bronze paperweight animals of dogs, lions, owls, etc. This example is Shando (someone please help me out with the breed of the dog). The finish is gold doré, with uneven wear. The paperweight is properly signed underneath TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK and numbered in enamel D1595. It is titled SHANDO on top. It measures 2¼" tall.
Tiffany produced several models of solid-bronze paperweight animals of dogs, lions, owls, etc. This example is a bulldog, I think. (Someone please help me out with the breed of the dog). The finish is patina, with even wear. The paperweight is properly signed underneath TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK and numbered 888, as well as an enameled collector's number D1670. It measures 2" tall.
You won't find a rarer item of Tiffany Studios bronzework than this fantastic Eagle (or some rare bird) ash stand. Truly elegant. The ashes can be put in the tray that rests in the bird's mouth. There is a swivel top that dumps the ashes into the bottom. It is easily cleaned by removing it from the bird's mouth. Unbelievable original patina.
You don't have to smoke to want to own this great rarity. It belongs in the best collections. Apparently unsigned, but right as rain. Pictured in Alistair Duncan's book Tiffany Lamps and Metalware, page 370, figure 1518.
I don't sell many Tiffany Studios candelabra because there's usually one kind of problem or another. So when I had the opportunity to purchase a rare, fine example from a prestigious Washington, DC collection, I didn't hesitate.
This example has everything you want. It's big and impressive, with 4 branches. It has jewelled tops. The bobeches are original. The original patina is superb and finally the snuffer is present.
15" tall x 14½" wide. Impressed signature underneath "TIFFANY STUDIOS NEW YORK 1265". Beautiful original condition.

Tiffany Studios, Enameled Clock
This is one of the rarest clocks that Tiffany Studios made. The enameling is all original and even comes with the original enameled key -- quite a bonus! The clockworks are by one of the best American clockmakers, the Chelsea Clock Company of Boston, Mass. It's being sold as a work of art, so I don't guarantee that the clock works. It may work (and my guess is that it probably does). Signed. Excellent condition.

Tiffany Studios, Enameled Clock
When Tiffany Studios reorganized into Tiffany Furnaces, they added enameling to their repetoire, which is the highlight of this wonderful, totally original clock. It's actually in good working order, having been to a clockmaker recently. Usually I sell clocks as decorative items and don't guarantee the mechanism, but not in this case. Sold originally by Tiffany & Co. It's signed Tiffany & Co. on the face and Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces, Inc. on the underside of the case. The mechanism is by Chelsea, one of the finest of American makers.

Tiffany Studios, Root Candlestick Lamp
Tiffany made many different models of candlesticks. In some cases, they replaced the standard candle bobeche with a bobeche/fitter combination, so that a shade could be added. This is a much rarer and more desirable combination. This example includes a rare root candlestick and correct shade. If you find a tulip shade attached to a candlestick, you can be assured that the original shade was lost or broken and replaced with the more available tulip shade. The patina is original and rich. The shade is in mint condition. Both base and shade are signed.
