Tiffany Studios Book Rack, “Pine Needle” pattern #1027

Antique Tiffany Studios Pine Needle expandable book rack 1027

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:
