Tiffany Studios New York “Trumpet Creeper” Cone Chandelier

A lush tapestry of verdant, speckled trumpet creeper leaves crafted from mottled green glass forms a dense canopy against a backdrop of foliage, framed by a cerulean blue geometric border. Imagining ourselves beneath a pergola, bathed in sunlight filtering through the leaves, evokes the essence captured by painters of the Impressionist era. They often depicted scenes of leisurely strolls or lively dances beneath verdant canopies in public squares. Achieved through the use of Fracture-streamer glass, this effect entails ladling molten glass with delicate strings, and then pressing it between thin glass wafers. The resulting palette of green and orange creates an enchanting, tropical ambiance that captivates the observer.

Curator's Notes
Louis C. Tiffany was enamored with creeping vines and they played a major role in the landscaping of his two Long Island mansions, The Briars and Laurelton Hall. Louis Comfort Tiffany wrote of the trumpet creepers, “They are great travellers, verily—tramps. They go underground, across door-heads, over cornices, stopping up gutters, filling odd corners, doing no end of mischief … What harmonizers! What decorative artists! …Can architectural embellishment, pediment or cornice surpass the fringe of living glory presented by the creepers? Always in style, always exempt from even the dictation of Dame Fashion! Always mellowing, softening, harmonizing whithersoever they go…”
