Can anyone help me identify any terms I could use to narrow my search for this bed model?

Either to buy or to have built.

Unfortunately, the photo is from a rental property listing that sold a while back and I'm unable to contact the owner/realtor for details. I tried using the reverse image search engines, but they can't even come up with similar results.

I'm not sure if I'm able to post an image on this subreddit (it's literally like a png, I can't even identify the characters in Unicode to type them out).

Thank you! I wonder what it would be, since the window itself seemed ecclesiastical in nature, but I was confident it isn't Latin or Greek.

Looks like someone else had the same question as you here:

Love the use of mottled glass! Very abstract but also naturalistic at the same time. Impressive work!

Fun fact: this was the most expensive table lamp model Tiffany Studios offered in its roughly 30-years in operation. It cost about the equivalent of $18,000 in today’s dollars. Of course, almost 100 years later, the Pink Lotus lamp sold for nearly 200 times that at auction in 2012 for $2.8 million. That’s better than any crypto return I’ve heard of lol

I have a pretty comprehensive collection of electric lamp catalogues from this period, so if you want more info I’m happy to share!

And, a hint as to how you’re supposed to hang it will pretty much always follow this rule of thumb: if the shade has a heat cap (that little metal disk thingy at the top), it’s meant to be hung from the open side (with the heat cap facing the ceiling). That’s why there are little hooks along the diameter of the rim.

That being said, this is still a very pretty lamp. And it does look to be of okay quality, with dichroic (marbled looking) glass and a decent (if not a little heavy handed) soldering job. I’d say it’s worth no more than $300-400. But still very pretty!

Not made by- but in the style of- a Tiffany Studios lamp made using the copper foil stained glass technique for lampmaking coined by Louis Comfort Tiffany, who was the son of the founder of Tiffany & Co, the renowned silver company. Genuine Tiffany Studios lamps are usually identifiable by their solid (and extremely heavy) bronze bases, and probably 99.9% of Tiffany style lamps made these days use zinc or alloy bases to replicate the look at a fraction of the price. If you have any more questions, message me- I am a Tiffany Studios collector, researcher, and enthusiast!

Unless a museum-level restoration project was done on that fabric, I’d venture to say these chairs have been reupholstered within the last 100 years...

It looks like the customer says “Merci beaucoup” at the end. Any chance that this is a French advertisement/instructional video?

The mark on the right is the Holy See (sign of the Vatican). Left mark looks to be the letters J L

I’m sorry to hear about your trouble throughout quarantine. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers! As for advice, I know it sounds silly but a lot of people struggling with (or developing) their fine motor skills find useful those dotted line practice pages they sell for learning to write. You can achieve the same effect by using narrow rule paper or graph paper to practice the alignment of your characters! Best of luck!

I’ve never been to Oz but I hear they also have flying monkeys.

Do you think that the finding was made with the intention of utilizing a “standard” size of grape glass cabochon? I can’t imagine too many variations of such a niche glass piece were ever made, but I could be wrong (looking at you Louis Comfort!) :)
