The Marston House Museum & Gardens is pleased to share the recent gift of three extraordinary stained glass and bronze Tiffany lamps that make stunning additions to the 1905 period home and enrich its early 20th-century decorative arts collection.
The beneficent gift includes two exquisite table lamps and an intricate floor lamp, all made at Louis Comfort Tiffany's Tiffany Studios in New York between 1905 and 1908.
All three lamps attest to the artisans' ability to work in the round, making the shades attractive from every side, in every room setting. They vie for attention in both natural light and the glow of colored light when illuminated.
SOHO is celebrating this extraordinary gift by presenting this online exhibit of the exquisite lamps, as well as in-person viewing during Martson House Museum tours. Together these offer broad public access to the lamps and acknowledge the donors' much-appreciated generosity.
Financial support is provided by the City of San Diego.
