    Tiffany lamp on loan from NY Historical Society to Lyman Allyn

    Tiffany Studios Apple Blossom Table Lamp (Submitted)

    The Lyman Allyn Art Museum has a new addition to its permanent "Louis Comfort Tiffany in New London" exhibition.

    Periodically, the exhibit will be refreshed with new objects. Last week, a Tiffany Studios Apple Blossom Table Lamp (ca. 1900-1906) arrived at the Lyman Allyn, on loan from the New York Historical Society. This lamp resembles a miniature apple tree in bloom with a canopy of leaves and springtime blossoms sitting atop a bronze tree trunk base.

    It will be on view in the Tiffany in New London exhibit for just over one year.

    With items both from the museum’s collection and on loan, the exhibit "Louis Comfort Tiffany in New London" includes nearly 100 pieces of decorative arts and fine art objects including a range of windows, lamps, paintings, period photographs, furniture, metalworks, glass samples and finished Favrile glass vessels, as well as jewelry and adornments.

    Tours of the exhibition are available for groups and may be scheduled by contacting the Education Department at 860-443-2545, ext. 2110.

    Museum admission is $12 for adults, $9 for seniors, $5 for students, and free for children under 12. Admission is always free for New London residents.

    The Lyman Allyn is located at 625 Williams St., New London. Hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues.-Sat. and 1-5 p.m. Sun. Call 860-443-2545 or visit www.lymanallyn.org.
