Catalogue Notes

The life sized 'Lawson Pink' carnation brooch was designed by G. Paulding Farnham for the Tiffany & Co. display at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Tiffany's chief jewellery designer from the mid 1880s till 1904, Paulding's large scale flowers were amongst his most distinctive creations, received with great international acclaim and firmly placed Tiffany on the international map. His works are acknowledged as the first true masterpieces of American jewellery design. The carnation brooch featured was commissioned as a later day special order for Mrs. T. Suffern Tailer in 2005.
