Peacock Table Lamp

Clara Wolcott Driscoll

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Peacock Table Lamp by Clara Wolcott Driscoll is a round stained glass lamp shade. The shade has a circular shape with a wide mouth and a narrow top. It features a colorful mosaic pattern of peacock eyes in shades of blue, green, gold, purple, and brown. The peacock eyes are arranged in a repeating pattern around the shade, with each eye consisting of a blue center surrounded by green, gold, and purple. The background of the shade is made up of small, irregularly shaped pieces of colored glass in shades of brown, blue, and purple. The shade has a black metal framework that holds the glass pieces together. The top of the shade has a small circular opening with a metal grate covering it. The background behind the lamp shade is dark gray, which helps to highlight the colors of the stained glass.
