Louis Tiffany at Tiffany & Co. Favrile Glass Scarab Brooch
-
Description
This Louis Tiffany brooch dating from circa 1909 is composed of favrile glass scarabs and gold. The oval form is bezel-set with 10 glass scarabs with iridescent blue, indigo and green tones, within a delicate wire mount highlighted by gold spherules. A rare and collectible Louis Tiffany brooch of unusual materials, this brooch represents a classic innovation of the artist in the early to middle period of his work in the medium, when he was most engaged in the creation of experimental jewelry.
