Louis Comfort Tiffany Is Internationally Recognized As A Master Of The American Decorative Arts. Considered To Be The Driving Force Behind The Art Nouveau Style In America, Tiffany Is Known Best For His Striking Lamps And Stained-Glass Windows. Though Tiffany First Started His Experiments With Stained Glass In 1875, It Was Not Until 10 Years Later That He Opened Tiffany Glass Company, Which Was Changed To Tiffany Studios In 1900. By The 1890S, He Was The Leading Art Glass Producer, Serving Wealthy New Yorkers And Commissioning Pieces For Mark Twain, Cornelius Vanderbilt And The Cathedral Of St. John The Divine In New York. Tiffany Stated That His Lamps Allowed People To Enjoy The Elements Of Nature All Year Long In The Beauty Of His Glass. Now, The Rarity And Elegance Of Tiffany’S Lamps Make Them Some Of The Most Desired Antiques, Confirming His Legacy As A Visionary Of The Art Nouveau Movement.
