TIFFANY | 26 MAY AT 5PM EDT

Christie’s will present Tiffany, a live sale in New York dedicated to the works of the American visionary Louis Comfort Tiffany. The sale is led by a magnificent ‘Landscape Window with Magnolia, Hydrangea and Azalea’, circa 1915, which ranks among the most spectacular and artistic of the windows created by Tiffany Studios at the beginning of the 20th Century. Kept for over forty years in a private collection, this landscape is thought to be a depiction of Kissena brook and its surrounding woodlands and displays an outstanding selection of the most elaborate glass used at the time.

Gathered from multiple American collections, additional highlights of the sale include an important and rare ‘Elaborate Peony’ table lamp, a rare ‘Tulip Tree’ Table Lamp, a ‘Zodiac’ Table Lamp and an iconic ‘Pond Lily’ table lamp, as well as other rare works by Tiffany Studios.
