Title: Magnificent Tiffany Silver
Description: "Tiffany & Co., America's preeminent purveyor of jewels and luxury goods, has created extraordinary silver pieces since its founding in 1837. The first comprehensive book exclusively showcasing these astonishing works, Magnificent Tiffany Silver reveals the breadth and depth of Tiffany's remarkable triumphs in the field of American silver design and production.".

"Through a lively, anecdotal text - enriched with never-before-published information - and more than 300 illustrations, Tiffany & Co. design director John Loring illuminates hundreds of lavish silver objects as well as the world in which they were made and presented. We encounter royalty and business titans, sports champions and cultural luminaries, and the country's social elite, who were the primary patrons of the prestigious firm of silversmiths.".

"Magnificent Tiffany Silver is divided into six chapters, reflecting the entire range of period styles as well as signature styles in the Tiffany 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 - are discussed, as are the characteristics of the workmanship attributable to each master designer."--BOOK JACKET.
