This is the first book devoted to Tiffany lamps in more than 20 years. Experts in the field have made a selection of exceptional lamps-many of which have rarely been seen or published-and each one has been newly photographed with the latest photographic techniques to reveal in extraordinary detail the artistic quality and high craftsmanship of these masterpieces of decorative art. Martin Eidelberg and Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen have contributed essays on the history of the lamps, enlarging our understanding of Louis Comfort Tiffany's achievement. They have also drawn upon a host of previously unpublished photographs, paintings, and watercolors by Tiffany and other artists in his employ, as well as on working drawings and studio photographs, to evoke the lost gardens and interiors of Tiffany's country estate, Laurelton Hall, that so inspired him. They outline the development and manufacture of the Tiffany lamp from freehand sketch to the finished form, as well as the chief decorative themes in Tiffany's glass masterpieces and their relation to the work of other fin de sihcle glassmakers. In this book, light, color, and the inspiration of nature co-mingle to produce a deliciously sensuous experience.

Thirty-six lovely peel-and-apply illustrations depict in vibrant hues the magnificent images created by the noted stained glass designer — from delicate floral sprays to splendid avian creatures. Perfect for enhancing stationery and other flat surfaces.

A dozen glorious designs, based on the stylish, nature-inspired stained glass creations of Louis Comfort Tiffany, add a touch of elegance to any reading material.

Superb patterns from studios of great designer: "Wisteria," "Dragonfly"; a seasonal motif of red poinsettias; exotic birds against lush green foliage. Ideal wrap for any occasion.

"The binding's embossed squares allude visually to Tiffany's work in metal, stained glass, jewelry and textiles. ... The book was included in the Cooper-Hewitt 2016 exhibit "Passion for the Exotic: Louis Comfort Tiffany and Lockwood de Forest." --Marilyn Braiterman.
