The Ti�any family design legacy is celebrated in this
unique mix of exhibitions featuring Louis Comfort
Ti�any’s stained glass of the Art Nouveau era and a
rare collection of Ti�any & Co.’s decorative firearms.
Charles Lewis Ti�any established Ti�any & Co. in
1837; his son Louis Comfort Ti�any later founded
Ti�any Studios, renowned for its exquisite
decorative objects. bit.ly/ti�anyera

Out of the Forest: Art Nouveau Lamps includes twenty exquisite lamps by
Ti�any Studios and other lamp manufacturers of the Art Nouveau era, all from
the private collection of Byron Vreeland.

magnificent stained glass church windows by Ti�any Studios recently
salvaged after years in storage.
Ti�any & Co. Arms from the Collection of Robert M. Lee features the
