DENVER, Pa. - s4story -- Two stunning pieces from Tiffany Studios – an important Hydrangea "Snowball" leaded-glass floor lamp and a stained-glass landscape window with irises – will share center stage with an original Norman Rockwell oil painting at Morphy's June 10-11 Fine & Decorative Arts Auction. Nearly 1,200 top-quality, well-provenanced lots will be offered over the course of the two-day event.

A magnificent fresh-to-the-market 79-inch-tall Tiffany Studios floor lamp comes a distinguished collection. Its 24-inch-diameter leaded-glass shade is adorned with blossoms denoting the iconic Hydrangea (or "Snowball") motif. A background of gorgeous cobalt blue and lavender extends downward at the apex of the shade and is accented by prodigious mottling and freckling. Both the shade and six-socket base are signed Tiffany Studios. The lamp has an estimate of $300,000-$600,000.

Also from Tiffany Studios, a stained-glass floral window depicts a scenic landscape with rolling hills, trees, and a blue sky in the background, and purple irises and a babbling stream in the foreground. It is a stellar example of how the studio combined different forms of exotic glass to create a lifelike landscape. In overall VG condition, the window is contained within a contemporary frame measuring 67¼ inches by 39 inches. It has a $100,000-$150,000 estimate.

An original Norman Rockwell (American, 1894-1978) oil-on-paper laid on board is titled The Growth of a Leader and was a study for a 1966 calendar illustration. The work illustrates the life of an individual in the form of four dated bust profiles, starting with the Cub Scouts in 1943, then the Boy Scouts in 1947, cadet life in 1949, and military service in 1966. Signed NR at lower right, the painting measures 13½ by 10½ inches (sight) and 19¾ inches by 17 inches (framed). The presale estimate is set at $100,000-$150,000.
