Fine Examples of Tiffany Stained Glass Windows and Lampshades Come to Auction at Hindman

Louis Comfort Tiffany desired to create a better version of contemporary glass for interior design. He thus made his own signature glass using different materials, colors, and textures. The upcoming Hindman auction presents glass windows and lampshades by Tiffany Studios. A stained glass window, titled Musician In The Cove, carries the highest presale estimate. The circa 1890 window features Tiffany’s signature leaded-glass technique for assembling glass pieces in the lead frames. A Gustav Stickley safe-craft cabinet is notable among the auction’s furniture lots. Stickley furniture is well-known for exposing the natural grain structure of wood. The oak cabinet also features hand-hammered metal handles and hinges. It bears the company’s decal on its back.

Also showcased is a Josephine Baker etched glass vase by Vicke Lindstrand for Orrefors. The hand-blown glass vase has a Josephine Baker engraving. Lindstrand was known as the pioneer of Swedish glass art. He introduced multiple intricate glass decoration techniques, making his glassworks sought after among collectors. The auction also offers Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces Inc. desk accessories, Mulholland Brothers silverware, and an Émile Gallé glass vase.
