Tiffany at Auction: Still a Strong Performer
With the recent update of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, "The Great Gatsby," you can't watch television, open a newspaper or check out a popular website and not see Gatsby mentioned somewhere. The story embodied a time and place in America where opulence, quality, and fashion ruled the day. Tiffany was, and still is, a name synonymous with affluence and success. The beauty of Tiffany lamp designs, with their intricate patterns, brilliant colors and textures combined with quality construction made the brand a hallmark of the upper echelon of society.

Tiffany lamps were manufactured by a company founded by Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Charles Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co. He trained in the United States and Europe first as an artist, and later developed

his foundation in glass. When Louis combined his artistic vision with glass mosaics, magic was created. He continued to push the technological envelope of the era by creating new methods of production and higher expectations for the glass used in these wonderful creations. Tiffany Lamps were manufactured between the late 1890s and 1930s, originally selling from $30 to $350. In today's market, Tiffany Lamps commonly sell between $1,000 and $100,000 at auction. Rare examples in the best of condition have sold from $150,000 to over $2 Million!

Tiffany has long been tantamount with quality, fashion, and rarity. Authentic Tiffany lamps have stood the test of time, and now are even more desirable than when Jay Gatsby was doing the Charleston and cavorting with flappers in the Roaring 20s. Today, nearly 90

 Tiffany & Co.
