PERIDOT AND ENAMEL BROOCH, LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY, TIFFANY & CO.

Unlike other artists of his time, Louis Comfort Tiffany was not interested in the linear, monochromatic designs that dominated the era. His primary focus was a gemstone’s color and how it interacted with light. Unconventional stones such as tourmalines and peridots allowed him to experiment with color. Lot 91 demonstrates Louis Comfort’s bold palate through his combination of semi-precious stones and enamel.
