Product Description

This beautiful book focuses on Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany’s extraordinary country estate in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. Beginning in 1902, Tiffany (1848–1933) designed every aspect of the immense home, which had eighty-four rooms and eight levels, and extensive grounds into which the house was carefully integrated. Tiffany’s residential masterpiece was also a quasi-museum, for he filled it with his own works—windows, glassware, pottery, enamels, lamps, oil paintings, and watercolors—as well as with objects from his collections of Islamic, Asian, and Native American art.
Laurelton Hall burned down in 1957, but about ten years earlier most of its contents had been removed and sold. Every aspect of the estate is examined and re-created in this volume: its terraced gardens with fountains and pools; the many outbuildings; and Tiffany’s life there. The interior decoration of Laurelton Hall, a particular focus of the book, is represented by both numerous period photographs and newly commissioned color photography of surviving artworks and salvaged architectural components from the estate. For all who admire Tiffany and his work, this book presents a unique portrait of his remarkable home.

1-0 out of 5 stars Pretty Dry Going
I found this book very dry.I am a Tiffany fan and create Tiffany stained glass reproductions as a hobby.I think anyone who is not already a devotee should think twice about this book.I really doesn't add much to the information already out there.Cut and paste literature at best.

5-0 out of 5 stars Louis Comfort Tiffany's Laurelton Hall
This is an excellent and scholarly book filled with incredible photos and descriptions of LCT's home, Laurelton Hall.The author has written a series of fine chapters that look at all aspects of this magnificent residence.What the fire at Laurelton destroyed, this book restores with words and photos. For all of you who love Tiffany's artistry, this book is not to be missed!

Product Description
This volume presents Tiffany's magical lamps and stained glass. This lavish volume provides an overview of the fifty-year career and the highly innovative and creative work of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933). The inventor of Favril Glass, an opalescent glass with deep, glowing color that far surpassed, in quality and beauty, all existing techniques, Tiffany was one of the most original and influential designers and America's leading exponent of Art Nouveau.Tiffany Studios, founded in 1889, were well known for their use of sensuous, organic, natural and floral forms. Tiffany's iridescent colored vases and his lampshades with their haunting colors became extremely popular and sought after the world over. Although known primarily as a glass artist, Tiffany was also involved in interior design, furniture, rugs, ceramics, mosaics, jewelry, bronzes, desk sets, mirrors and more. He decorated the White House, as well as the homes of Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie and others.With some 400 color plates, text by Jacob Baal-Teshuva, a documentary index, and an illustrated biography/bibliography, Louis Comfort Tiffany pays homage to the brilliant life's work of the man who revolutionized both the art and technique of stained glass. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Collection of photos
This book gives a detailed account of Tiffanys works in most of the mediums he chose. The photographs are gorgeous.

5-0 out of 5 stars Tiffany - A fabulous Book to Own
This is truly the most fabulous book on Tiffany's works,including many illustrations of works not previously seen.  As a Tiffany book collector, I know that Nuestadt's book may have more lamps illustrated, but none have the incomparable colors and qualities as the images in this book.  They are truly magnificent pictures (over 400 color plates)on a black ackground and are of the same quality as Sotheby & Christie's catalog pictures.  Tiffany at Auction by Alastair Duncan may be a collectors item, but having seen it, most of the pictures in that book are in black and white and do not begin to compare with this book.  While the Sotheby and & Christie catalogs display beautiful pictures, they only show what people choose to sell, unlike this book that shows treasures that I have never before seen in any of the books or catalogs that I have collected.But this book has so much more.  Almost every lamp picture has a close up of the actual pattern.  As a stained glass worker, these close ups are sufficient for you to reproduce the design.  The outstanding and superlative index at the rear contains small thumbnails of each work of art in the book with illuminating information and page number shown foreasy access to the item.  Actual copies of the Tiffany factory workbooks,similar to Nash's new Tiffany Notebook book, are included in this book.
Of course, this book also has the requisite biography of Tiffany.  One third of book is biography and windows, second third is lamps, and last third is vases, index and bibliography.
You will NOT be disappointed in this book - it's the best that is available as far as I am concerned. ... Read more

This terrific book is the museum show catalog for an amazing Tiffany exhibit organized by Alastair Duncan the world's top authority on Tiffany glass and the most prolific author on the subject.To address the review regarding his conviction for selling a stolen window it MUST be noted that he was set up by a crooked Tiffany dealerwho was working for a politically ambitious and corrupt federal prosecutor.

Mr. Duncan is currently being charged in connection with selling at least one stolen Tiffany window. He bought it for 30K andsold it to a party in Japan for 220K. The theft was not discovered until he tried to do it again 6 yrs later.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Few American artists have undergone such shifts in critical opinion as Louis Comfort Tiffany. Initially as a painter, then as an interior designer and experimenter in the medium of glass, Tiffany attained a position of great status in the arts. However, when America joined the First World War, many critics considered his art shallow and outdated and throughout the ’30s and ’40s, he was generally forgotten. By 1946, his revival had begun with an exhibition held at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York, organized by Edgar Kaufmann Jr, Lillian Nassau and Edward Wormley.

This lovely book, published to accompany the traveling exhibition opening at the Seattle Art Museum in October 2005, showcases 120 objects, illustrating his wide-ranging interests and placing him in context with other significant artists of his time. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent For Both Scholars and the Casually Interested
A New Light on Tiffany: Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls

I found this book fascinating, as I have been researching the stained glass windows and other memorial gifts in the Nave of Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, Kansas City, Missouri, the Cathedral Church of the Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri.Agnes Fairchild Northrop (1857-1953) was discussed in this book, and there were two photographs of her.I was eager to learn about her because the largest Tiffany window in our Cathedral is based on a window Agnes designed in 1910 for Helen Miller Gould, and I wanted to include as much information about her as I could in the book I'm preparing.

But the stories of Clara Driscoll and the other "Tiffany girls" were just so interesting to me, and it was almost like having been there, and being able to see and experience all the events and activities behind the man and his art glass company which has certainly attained mythic heights in American culture.The research was detailed and impeccable.

And the price was so reasonable!

If you're reading this, you're already at your computer, so what are you waiting for?Buy it, already!

5-0 out of 5 stars the central role of women artists and others in Tiffany creations
Looking into how the highly-valued Tiffany lamps and other fine objects came to be, the three authors disclose the critical, unique part Clara Driscoll had in this. Driscoll served as a major creative force for many Tiffany lamps by her own artistic sense and as director of a staff of other talented women. Recently found correspondence of Driscoll's--an Ohio native who lived from 1861 to 1944--verifies that she was mostly responsible for the classic Tiffany designs of the Wisteria, Dragonfly, and Peony.

The authors do not aim to devalue Louis Comfort Tiffany's (1848-1933) role and reputation in giving Driscoll her due. They seek mainly to lay out a broader, more informed understanding of the creation of the timeless Tiffany works. Parts of the book go beyond Driscoll's place in the company to see her as representative of sprightly, adventuresome, and bright young American woman coming into the American workforce and into large cities in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Besides Driscoll, there were a number of other similarly-talented and -natured women who contributed to the inimitable design and outstanding status of the Tiffany lamps and other objects. Collectively known as the "Tiffany Girls," many are pictured in available period photographs; and all known are given biographical notes. ... Read more

Product Description
The works of the Tiffany Studios revolutionized interior design in turn-of-the-century America. All of the company's works-from stained-glass windows to blown-glass vases; lamp shades to inkwells-bore the unique stamp of one man, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who created the Tiffany Studios and supervised every aspect of their production. Many of these official studio pieces are well known today-avidly sought by museums and collectors worldwide. Special ones among them, as well as other lesser known pieces-the "lost" works of Louis Tiffany himself-are, in a real sense, the core of his astonishing achievement. They comprise his personal oeuvre-the objects made from his original designs for exhibition, for private commissions, or for use in Tiffany's own homes. This book reevaluates Tiffany's art in terms of his personal work-including pieces in all the media that attracted him over the course of his prolific career; stained glass, of course, but also mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany's pioneering efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel paintings and his dream of creating a permanent residential retreat for working artists. Hugh F. McKean also provides much intimate insight into Tiffany's personality, his domestic life, his financial dealings, and his unusual philosophy of art. Lavishly illustrated, the book presents a vivid display of Tiffany's wide-ranging aesthetic. The result is a rare portrait of Tiffany the man-and of the prodigious imagination that almost single-handedly transformed the day-to-day image of a nation and an era. ... Read more

These lovely objects, which he named "Favrile" and made in his New York studio, display Tiffany's reverence for antique glass and include the colored, gold iridescent, blue iridescent, and opalescent forms featured in this book. Over 240 color photographs of objects from many public and private collections, a very interesting text, and meticulously composed descriptions display Tiffany's intriguing art glass together for the first time in book form. Comments about their rarity accompany the descriptions. ... Read more

This is both a book for collectors , and a "coffee table" beauty. The photos are superb, the items selected are the "best of the best", and the narrative is well-written.

4-0 out of 5 stars Very nice overview of Tiffany's work. Not exhaustive but affordable.
I've a few books on Tiffany's stained glass work, including the definitive collection of his lamps and a cut-out paperback with photos of various windows and lamps. In terms of price and coverage, this is a Goldilocksian "just right" middle choice for someone who doesn't want a major investment but is interested in the breadth of Tiffany's work.

Primarily, this book covers the works that are owned by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, and in fact I bought my copy in its shop to help me remember my visit. (Aside: it is indeed among the best museum shops in the world, and I felt compelled to buy *something*.)

The museum does have an impressive Tiffany collection, including some of the works you've seen photographed in all the "usual places," such as his wysteria window, Autumn Landscape, and the dogwood window. It also has several lamps, vases, and -- possibly surprising to some people -- furniture, mosaics, boxes, and other items that don't get quite as much "airplay" but are still quite beautiful.

The book is separated into chapters on Tiffany's background, interiors, stained-glass windows, mosaics, favrile glass, lamps, enamels and ceramics, and jewelry, metalwork, and woodwork. The text is academic and a little dry, but suitable for the context. You learn about the provenance of the item rather than how it was constructed.

The photos are lovely, with plenty of closeups -- though not *quite* close enough, I found, for my stained-glass hobbyiest's eye. That is, the closeup of the Magnolias and Irises window shows enough detail for you to appreciate the glass and maybe the soldering, but you never see how amazingly the windows are plated. (Fortunately, the museum lets you take non-flash photos, so I have a few examples of my own.) You also see sketches and other in-progress designs, as well as other documents -- such as a drawing of a theater that Tiffany designed which was demolished in 1902.

But if an item isn't in the museum's collection, it isn't mentioned here; if you're looking for an exhaustive All About Tiffany book, this isn't it. It isn't *meant* to be an All About Tiffany book, and as other reviewers have noted, this doesn't focus on windows or lamps. And, at 100 pages, they can't include everything.

Personally, I was blown away by his mosaics (which I'd never seen before), and I realized why the favrile lamps earned him such a reputation (the photos here, like all the others, simply do not do them justice). So I'm very glad that I have this book in my growing collection; certainly, at the reasonable price it gives you a very good overview.

5-0 out of 5 stars Loved This Book
I saw this exhibition at the Met in NYC and was enthralled by it.I showed the book to a fellow Tiffany lover and he said though he has many books on Tiffany there were items in this one he had never seen before.I say buy the book and then a ticket to NYC and go to the Met and see the originals.Both are worth the price.

5-0 out of 5 stars Brief Info on Book
Paperback, 100 pps, over 130 illustrations
A wonderful look at the full range of works by Tiffany.Photos on every page of designs, lamps, vases, mosaics and paintings, and even a peek at his studio and some of the glass workshops.Highly recommended.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I was looking for
I bought this book expecting to find many pictures of Tiffany's wonderful stained glass windows.In that, I was disappointed, hence the two stars.There is, however, a great sampling of Tiffany's work including jewelry,lamps, and an absolutely stunning green desk collection that I had neverseen before.In all it is a great collection of the artist's work andgives an excellent overview of his amazing depth.

However, since I waslooking for the stained glass windows, this book wasn't quite what I wassearching for.I hope to save someone else from the same mistake. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Mostly photos, and they're lovely
I picked up this book from the bargain bin at my local bookstore, and I'm thrilled that I found it. The 350-page book itself is mostly photographs, though there's 60 pages of text giving a glass-centric biography of Louis Comfort Tiffany (in English, German, and French, so I think this was originally published in the U.K.). It's fine, but I doubt you'd be buying this for the text.

Separate sections are devoted to Tiffany's leaded glass windows, lamps, and vases. There's only a caption for each picture ("Peony border floor lamp, circa 1910") with an eensy bit more info in the back of the book (usually the photo credit), so this won't help you identify the provenance of a rare item.

It's a relatively small-format book, but the production work is good. About one in ten photographs also shows a detail of the item, so you can see the awesome quality of Tiffany's glass, and the difficulty of cutting some of those pieces.

And BOY are those photos gorgeous! The collection isn't exhaustive (there's one bamboo window I've seen photos of elsewhere that isn't included, for instance) but you certainly get a good idea of the man's (and his company's) output. ... Read more

Product Description
Celebrated for his Art Nouveau stained-glass interpretations of birds, insects, fruits and flowers, Louis Comfort Tiffany was the foremost American designer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His enormous influence on his father's famed company, however, has been largely obscured. In this illustrated volume, Tiffany & Co design director John Loring puts into perspective the mutually beneficial bonds between "LCT" and the family firm. The book includes 350 colour images of the jewellery, enamels, blown glass, ceramics, desk accessories and other objets d'art created by LCT during his 16-year tenure as the company's design director, as well as luxury goods produced in his own studios - but in fact financed and retailed by the family company. ...

Product Description
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 siècle glassmakers. In this book, light, color, and the inspiration of nature co-mingle to produce a deliciously sensuous experience. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Stained Glass Photo's I've Seen
I've never seen a finer book of Tiffany Lamp photographs.The photographer for this book developed a new technique for photographing stained glass and this is a landmark book.There are photo's in this book of some of the rarest of all the Tiffany lamps - many I've never seen before.Buy this book before it goes out of print!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great New Book on Tiffany Lamps
Over the years, there have been many books written on Tiffany's leaded glass lamps.

Most were very expensive, they had very biased opinions of the author, and some were down right full of technical errors!

I use these books as references to make my reproduction pieces. Without these resources, my job is a lot more difficult.

It is so refreshing to find a new book that not only has excellent quality photos, but also presents a fresh review of a very important topic!

Overall, I found very few technical miscues and I think this book is the best value on the planet for this niche. It contains several previously unpublished lamp patterns. The photos of actual equipment used at Tiffany Studios is very impressive. The authors did their homework!

If you want a great starter book for your library on Tiffany or just need a beautiful book for your coffee table, this book is a winner!

I really enjoyed this book. The color full page pictures are great.

5-0 out of 5 stars The definitive book on the subject, for glass artists or just droolers
I'd postponed writing a review of this book because I imagined that it was only fair to read the entire text before I wrote about it. I've never really gotten to concentrate on the words, though, because the photos are so, *SO* astonishingly beautiful.

This isn't simply a collection of lamp pictures, taken as though they're head-and-shoulders photos in a police lineup. Many of the lamps have multiple views, from very small (to show off how drapery glass was used, for instance), to a general detail shot, to photographs of the bases the company used to accompany the shade. The photography quality is excellent; you really see everything you need. A professional glass artist (or drooling amateur like myself) can see the details and understand why these lamps set the bar for stained glass. Even if you know NOTHING about the subject, you'll be blown away by the overwhelming prettiness of the material.

I'm not sure if this book represents every Tiffany lamp ever made, but it must come close. Additional images show related material, such as photos of Tiffany's Long Island home (wow), cartoons for lamps we've never seen, and Tiffany Studios' 1904 advertisements for its lamps. Most of the book, however, is a study of the lamps themselves, organized by topic (such as fauna or wetlands), and analyzed in some detail.

When I drag my eyes away, I can recognize that the prose is as complete as the photographs. In addition to the historical context in which the lamps were created, there's plenty of history and analysis about their manufacture. ("Another watercolor rendering in the collection in the Metropolitan Museum is for a Snowball shade [figure 93]. Here, because of the model's domical form, the designer compensated for the curvature of the surface by opening the top sections of the shade into a series of regular projections, just as a cartographer has to allow for the curvature of the globe.") Some of it is a bit dry and academic, at least for those of us who are here primarily to say, "ooh, how pretty!" but if you cared about the details, you would definitely appreciate its depth. In other words: there's plenty to look at, and there's plenty to read, depending on what you're looking for.

You can find a few other collections of Tiffany's works, but I can't imagine you'll find a better one.

5-0 out of 5 stars Usual Design - Very Functional!
I purchased a ton of these in different designs, as I read more than one book at a time so I can pick up where I left off.These bookmarks work very well.

5-0 out of 5 stars Beautiful bookmarks
Purchased these bookmarks just to make up my $25.00 for free shipping on an order I placed.But they turned out to be very nice.Perfect to slip one in a card for a friend, although I hate to give any of them away as they are so pretty.

3-0 out of 5 stars no big deal
I purchased this item soley to increase my purchase amount of something else to get free shipping. It is totally worth $1.50 if you know what I mean in this days dollars.

2-0 out of 5 stars Cheap Bookmark: Need to tear off along perforation
Despite the low price, I was disappointed that it was such cheap bookmarks that you have to tear off along the perforated edge. The perforated side is not smooth and looks unattractive. The paper quality is also not very thick and really cheap. I could use a piece of paper instead of a bookmark, if I didn't care about the feel, quality, and appearance. I will never buy another bookmark from this company, or any other company who care so little about the quality of their product.

Nice bookmarks - I am going to include in friends birthday cards.

I love Tiffany lamps and these are quite beautiful. ... Read more
