To whit, a pair of blotter caps, a rocker blotter, a tray, a desk clip, a letter opener, a letter holder, a calendar cover containing the 1919 calendar, a weighted inkwell with its glass insert, a picture frame and a lidded box with a segmented interior. For scale, the blotter caps are 19" long.

It's a knockout set. 10 rare pieces out of the 20 Tiffany Studios designed. We haven't seen one offered with as many pieces.

And we have not messed with the patina.

Tiffany Studios, not to be confused with Tiffany & Co., was a decorative arts company run by Louis Comfort Tiffany. The company was active in various forms from 1878 until 1933, and was best known for its stained glass windows, Tiffany lamps, mosaic installations, and luxury items such as desk sets. See less
