Tiffany was the president and art director, the primary figure driving all production, artistically and technically. Tiffany, of course, was the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany (1812-1902), founder of the successful and influential jewelry firm, Tiffany & Co. Louis Tiffany advanced his reputation by his own name and his father’s. Tiffany once reportedly stated: “Go after the money there is in art, but the art will be there just the same.” These words are the sentiment of an artist who created a marketing machine, but who in the end allowed the artistic side to rule. Louis Tiffany’s financial backers, mainly his father, were called upon time and again to keep his companies solvent. His familial ties facilitated prominence at international expositions, a decided advantage for a young artist with big ambitions. His firms always exhibited aside Tiffany & Co. Louis Tiffany, therefore, was able to enhance the marketability of his own wares by capitalizing on the Tiffany name established by his father. Louis Tiffany’s studio system was not a simple enterprise; he needed specialized workers to accomplish his goals. Under Tiffany’s watch, teams of talented designers and craftspeople translated his all-encompassing vision into the beautiful objects blown-glass vases, leaded-glass windows and lamps, pottery, jewelry, and more, that captivated an era. He publicly credited a number of these individuals for their work. In the Synopsis of the Exhibit of the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company from the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893, for example published by Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company and freely distributed Will H. Low (1853-1932) and Lydia Emmet (1866-1952) are cited beneath pictures of their designs. Other important designers at Tiffany’s company included Frederick Wilson (1858-1932), Joseph Lauber (1855-1948), Edward P. Sperry (d. 1925), Agnes Fairchild Northrop (1857-1953), Alice Carmen Gouvy (circa 1870-1924), and Clara Driscoll (1861-1944). Neither Tiffany Studios nor the Tiffany companies preceding it were created to function as guilds where individual artists are equally recognized. They were designed in the historic tradition of studios that produced works under the name of an established artist. Providing a portrait of Tiffany’s career, including his companies, is complicated. Scholars rely on surviving business records and personal accounts of individual employees to glean facts and insights. The discovery in the early 2000s of a Trove of letters written by Clara Driscoll, a talented designer who supervised the Women’s Glass...

In pristine condition. State of the art industrial lighting in the early 20 century. Green enamel shades by Benjamin. Estate of John Richardson. Renowned Picasso scholar.

There is much to say about these remarkable lamps. The metal work is finished in a polished bronze and the castings are a smorgasbord of fabulous detailed work that includes lions and swans. Besides that, work we urge you to look at all the other interesting and intricate cast segments. There are no stock parts on these lamps. Nothing here was bought from some warehouse. We particularly love the detail of those swans. The shades are molded very heavy glass and done in the manner of Lalique. The shades are committed to an Art Nouveau design with graceful, flowing dancing nudes. Usually these torchiere shades have a repeating pattern within the mold, not the case here as the pattern is not duplicated in the glass as we pictured here. We have been selling antique lighting for over 40 years and these are the best floor lamps we have ever owned and probably ever seen. I showed them to 2 other long time antique lamp dealers...
