This four-sided hanging Moorish lantern features red turtleback glass tiles set within intricate coiled wire filigree—a technique derived from ancient Greco-Roman jewelry. Its bold pyramidal form enhances the design’s exotic character. Tiffany’s turtleback lanterns were among his earliest lighting innovations, appearing in photographs as early as the 1880s. Designed to hang from ceilings at staggered heights, these lanterns created a dynamic interplay of form and light. Their varied shapes and textures were intended to evoke the illuminated ceilings of a mosque, where centuries of accumulated oil lamps and polycandela formed a dazzling, mismatched constellation of lights.

"Da Lee Anderson, Il Collezionista," in Casa Vogue, June 1985, no. 64, pgs. 172-5. Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: This lantern was commissioned by Charlotte Doremus Pierson Garrett Bellairs (1872–1939) who was briefly married Horatio Garrett, one of three Garrett sons raised at Evergreen—a 48-room Gilded Age mansion built by a wealthy railroad and banking family. During their engagement, Horatio’s mother, Alice, began construction on “Evergreen Junior,” a nearby residence intended for the couple. But Horatio died of cancer in 1896 at age 23, and Charlotte never lived there. She remained at Evergreen through at least 1900, according to census records. The Garretts were early patrons of Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Evergreen remains filled with custom commissions dating back to the 1880s. Many, including this lantern, reflect Tiffany’s Moorish...

This enchanting pair of Tiffany Studios New York "hanging globe" chandeliers are composed of two reticulated glass shades. Tiffany’s idea of blowing glass through openwork bronze had evolved in the 1890s with a series of Byzantine revival fuel lamps. The technique was popularized by 19th-century Muranese Glassmakers Salvati as a derivation of the Ancient Roman cage cup (vasa diatreta). In the 4th century, Roman glassmakers encased blown glass vessels in a delicate cage of glass. In Tiffany’s version, glass is blown through an ogival pattern cage. Originating in 11th-century Byzantine textiles, the ogival pattern became established in Italy, Ottoman Turkey, North Africa, and as far west as the Balkans.
