While we know the provenance of the Magnolia lamp, the identity of the buyer at $1,762,500 is shrouded in mystery. This world-record Tiffany stands more than 79 inches high with a leaded glass shade, and is profusely decorated with magnolia buds and petals. The leaded bronze and glass Peony Lamp went to ... for $750,500,... A fruit leaded glass and bronze table lamp achieved the next highest bid of $530,500, slightly below the high estimate of $550,000.
