"Tiffany & Co, America's foremost purveyor of jewelry and luxury goods, has been renowned for silver pieces since its founding in 1837. Magnificent Tiffany Silver, is the first comprehensive book devoted exclusively to these stunning works. It reflects the breadth and depth of Tiffany's remarkable triumphs in the field of American silver design and production." With more than 300 illustrations, Tiffany & Co. design director John Loring shows us hundreds of luxurious silver objects, as well as the world in which they were made and presented. Magnificent Tiffany Silver is divided into six chapters, reflecting the full range of styles of the era, as well as the signature styles of Tiffany's repertoire. The careers of the firm's great silver designers, such as Edward C. Moore, James Whitehouse, Eugene Soligny, Charles Osborne, John T. Curran, Paulding Farnham, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Van Day Truex, and Elsa Peretti, as well as the characteristics of the workmanship attributable to each master designer, are discussed.
