Product Details:
Item #: BO-21317
Artist: Tiffany & Co.
Country: United States
Circa: 1890-1900
Dimensions: 2.75" length, 1" width.
Materials: 21 old European and old mine-cut diamonds (approximate total weight 9.20 carats): Platinum-topped 18K gold mount
Signed: Tiffany & Co.
Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
Throughout the 19th century, British astronomers made many advances, building on the enormous base of precise observations provided to them by their predecessors in the 1700s. Using the new technique of spectroscopy, they worked to determine the composition of heavenly bodies, while breakthroughs in understanding the geology of the earth -many made by passionate amateur scientists as diverse as surveyors and Anglican clergy - helped them discover the facts about the nature of the moon and newly discovered planets. It was in fact an Anglican priest who first advanced his well-supported theory that the earth was indeed more than a billion years old. Astonishing early imaging of the moon, as well as the appearance of the Great Comets of 1843 and 1882 that remained for months burning in the sky above England, helped stoke popular fascination with heavenly bodies.

The oval form is bezel-set with 10 glass scarabs with iridescent blue, indigo and green tones, within a delicate wire mount highlighted by gold spherules.

Product Details:
Item #: BO-21184

Country: United States
Circa: 1909
Dimensions: 1.75" length, 3" width

Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes:
With their combination of simple naturalism and powerful symbolism of resurrection, favrile glass scarabs represent an important motif and medium in Louis Tiffany's work. In his decades-long career of experimentation in creating precious artistic objects, Tiffany drew inspiration across many cultures and media, with nature as his touchstone. Tiffany had an intense interest in Egyptian art and collected a number of ancient scarabs...
