DENVER, Pa., July 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The breathtaking colors and radiance of Tiffany Studios glassworks illuminate Morphy's central Pennsylvania gallery, where the company's July 14-15 Fine & Decorative Arts Auction will take place. Fifty-four exquisite lamps in some of the most desirable Tiffany patterns are currently on display. Among the many pedigreed examples is a Tiffany "Poppy" table lamp with a signed and numbered shade decorated with vivid red and pink-to-white poppies and green filigree leaves against an intense mottled blue background. Its prestigious line of provenance includes prior sale at Sotheby's. Estimate: $80,000-$100,000.

Extraordinarily rare, a Tiffany Studios "Clematis" table lamp is signed on the base that supports a signed leaded and stained-glass shade decorated with an intense mix of all-over blue, purple and pastel clematis blooms against a warm sunset background and blue/gray/purple trellis. Estimate: $80,000-$100,000

A rare buying opportunity presents itself in the form of two five-panel windows attributed to Tiffany Studios and depicting an undulating stream in the countryside. One of the windows shows stately poplar trees and lilies on both sides of the stream. The second window, executed in jewel-like hues of amethyst, sapphire blue and teal, resembles one that appears in Alastair Duncan's book Tiffany Windows.
