Item History & Price
Welcome To The Antique Cabinet
For your consideration is a QUEZAL Art Glass Lamp Shade in the exceptionally rare green ‘King Tut’ décor, circa 1902.The QUEZAL Art Glass & Decorating Company (1902-1924) was founded by Martin Bach and Thomas Johnson who were both formal employees of Tiffany. Martin Bach Sr. (1862-1921) emigrated from France where he had worked at the Saint-Louis Glass Co. Following his arrival to the US, he worked for Louis Comfort Tiffany as a chemist ...at the newly formed Tiffany Glass & Decorating Company in Corona, Queens. After almost 10 years, Bach left Tiffany to establish his own company (which actually infuriated Louis Tiffany). While in business, Quezal’s Art Nouveau styled glass was very comparable in quality and beauty to all similar well known glass makers of the period with examples being found in most if not all prominent museums.This is a beautiful and very seldom seen shade. The few QUEZAL King Tut shades that are found are typically yellow/gold. This shade is fully decorated in the rare green ‘King Tut’ design with wonderful colors and glow. It has a lightly ribbed body with a radiant marigold interior. It is properly signed ‘QUEZAL’ on the inside of fitter rim. It measures approx. 6” tall by 4” wide with a 2¼” fitter rim. The shade is in excellent condition, free of any chips, cracks or repairs and very minimal wear.
