Description:
Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry. Table of Contents Noted for their quality, uniqueness, and originality, Louis C. Tiffany's exquisite creations in glass and bronze have recently inspired a revival of interest on the part of collectors all over the country. In Louis C. Tiffany's Glass Bronzes *Lamps, an outstanding authority on Tiffany and his products presents invaluable information about all the objects created by the great artist himself or under his supervision. Lavishly illustrated, the book covers not only Tiffany's famed iridescent glass and stained-glass windows, but his bronze desk sets, candlesticks, lamps and lighting fixtures, pottery, and jewelry. Both beginning and sophisticated collectors will find new data and many photographs never before available, taken from the original Tiffany Studios catalogues, as well as biographical details of Tiffany's life and fascinating facts about the designing of the products and the materials and processes used. The author gives many pointers for distinguishing the authentic from the forgery for many of the more popular collector's items. Special insight into the making of Tiffany glass was obtained in an interview with one of the last surviving Tiffany glassmen, whose sketches of vases made at the studios are published here for the first time. As a special bonus, Robert Koch has added the complete 1906 Tiffany price list of almost 1,500 items and an illustrated 1933 catalogue of 85 lamps and shades. An authoritative reference book for all collectors and owners of Tiffany items, this book will be especially treasured by those who find the rising price of Tiffany glass prohibitive and are beginning to turn to other Tiffany products. It is a valuable sourcebook that will be of help in identifying and dating thousands of graceful and decorative pieces that are among the finest ever produced in America.
