Tiffany Studios New York "Scarab" Humidor Box
By Tiffany Studios
Located in New York, NY
First offered through Tiffany & Co., this stunningly naturalistic humidor, which is believed to have been carved from a single piece of wood by Joseph Briggs, was featured in Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Books from 1906 to 1912. The two Favrile glass scarabs reflect a fascination with Ancient Egypt that began in the 1860s with the first archaeological explorations and continued through the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. The scarab represented the Egyptian sun god Khepri and was a symbol of resurrection. The ancient Egyptians placed scarabs on mummies for good luck and protection against evil as they made their journey to the next world.
Item #: T-21822
Artist: Tiffany Studios New York
Country: United States
Circa: 1906
Dimensions: 4.25" height, 4.5" width, 4" depth.
Materials: Wood, Favrile Glass, Bronze
Signed: impressed with Tiffany Studios monogram
Condition Report: Wood with customary separations at the underside, which continue to visible bottom of humidor. Large inset cypriote with old stable crack. Top scarab with old stable crack diagonally across the center of the body. These imperfections are only visible on close inspection, none are visually distracting.
Exhibition History: This box is one of seven known signed examples, three of which are in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, Richmond, Virginia, and the Louis C. Tiffany Garden Museum, Japan.
