A Tiffany "Wave" Paperweight

A Tiffany Studios bronze and favrile glass "Wave" pattern paperweight demonstrates an organic art nouveau form. Offered for sale at auction in early 2020 with an estimate of $2,500 to $4,000, it sold for the low estimate.

Tiffany Lamps at the New-York Historical Society

I was overwhelmed by the New-York Historical Society's new gallery space for its matchless collection of Tiffany Studios lamps. These lamps are objects of breathtaking beauty. I took many photos, all the time aware of the inadequacy of my efforts. These pieces need to be seen and experienced in person.
