Louis Comfort Tiffany at Tiffany and Co. Book

Celebrated for his Art Nouveau stained-glass interpretations of birds, insects, fruits, and flowers, Louis Comfort Tiffany was the foremost American designer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His enormous influence on his father¹s famed company, however, has been largely obscured. In this fascinating and lavishly illustrated volume, Tiffany & Co. design director John Loring puts in proper perspective the mutually beneficial bonds between "LCT" and the family firm.

Three hundred fifty dazzling color images showcase jewelry, enamels, blown glass, ceramics, desk accessories, and other objets d¹art created by LCT during his 16-year tenure as the company¹s design director, as well as luxury goods produced in his own studios -- but, in fact, financed and retailed by the family company. The result of unprecedented access to Tiffany archives, Loring¹s research not only documents the panoramic range of the designer¹s art, but also deepens the understanding of an American commercial dynasty.
