Tiffany Studios New York "Abalone" Calendar Frame
Located in New York, NY
Tiffany Studios’s Abalone pattern calendar frame features interlaced strapwork and grapes composed of flat abalone disks.

Drawing inspiration from the Book of Kells, which played a significant role in igniting the Celtic revival, Tiffany incorporated interlaced strapwork into his designs. One of the most replicated folio pages from the book featured 158 intricate interlacings of white ribbon, with some details only fully revealed under magnification.
