A Tiffany Studios Dragonfly lamp sold for $87,500 at Doyle New York on September 23, beating its valuation of $70,000 by 25%.

The lot was deaccessioned from Boston's Museum of Fine Art.

Claire Driscoll, who headed the studio's design department in the early 1900s, was responsible for the look of the piece.
