I’ve long been interested in getting my hands on one of these antique, expandable bookends from Tiffany Studios. I was curious to see how it actually expanded and the sides folded up.  See more pictures at my online store.

This one moves smoothly and is functionally sound though there is some looseness in the lower corners of the side panels.

The Favrile glass in the end panels of this one are unusually white. 

I get asked alot about the glass in the ends because it is uncommon. But it is not uneard of. In fact, I recently saw another example on line of this white-ish-with-a-blue-tint type of glass:

You don’t come across this every day: A lot of 3 matching Tiffany Studios desk pieces from the Pine Needle pattern with no cracks to the glass! This lot of three is priced to move. This may not be a once in a lifetime deal, but probably once in a decade. Make this Tiffany Studios collection yours or wish you had.

This is a unique acquisition. The three-tier letter rack, in particular, is special. It is big! I took high-resolution photos in both natural light and under white light, and a couple that are backlit so you get a better sense of the coloring which can vary depending on light color and direction. And it is BIG — see below.

All are clearly stamped and numbered.

The pen wipe is also in excellent condition, and it still has its original brush — which is very rare.

All items are clearly stamped with “Tiffany Studios New York” or “Tiffany Stvdios New York” followed by the 3- or 4-digit model designator. Below I detail each piece by its model number, its approximate dimensions. 

·       1007: Three-tier letter rack (12 5/8″ w x 3 5/8″ d x 8 5/8″ h): This is a large and rare piece. There are no cracks in the glass. It is extremely unusual to find this item without cracks.

·       1004: Pen tray (9 5/8″ w x 2 3/4″ d x 3/4″ h): This piece has really nice coloring of the glass. See the photo of the back.

·       981: Pen brush (2 1/4″dia x 1 3/4″h): No damage. This one includes the brush, which is rare, and it is very clean piece.

See more photos at my store. I’ve also added about ten other pieces recently, so check them out before they get away.

Everyone loves to have something in their hands to play with. How about a 100-year-old paperclip from the ever-popular Tiffany Studios Pine Needle collection that is in perfect condition? This is a fully functional example of both how beautiful and how useful Tiffany’s desk set designs are and why they are still highly prized after over 100 hundred years.

Pattern: Pine Needle

Approximate Dimensions: 3″ x 2″ by 2″

Marks: Stamped “Tiffany Studios New York 971”

This Tiffany Studios paper holder is in perfect working condition, and the finish is a wonderful splotched green patina of the bronze. The glass is primarily green with a streak of white.

Though highly desirable, this is one of the less expensive Tiffany desk set piece you will find. Functional and with a gorgeous finish, this metalware and glass item would make an interesting addition to any home or office, any display or desktop.

If you would like to see more pictures, and are interested in pricing and availability, please see this antique paper holder in my antique store.
