Louis C. Tiffany, Vice-President of Tiffany & Co., New York, Still Active at Four Score Years

Louis C. Tiffany, vice-president of Tiffany & Co., which concern was founded by his father, art director of the Tiffany Studios, and president and art director of the Louis C. Tiffany Furnaces, was 80 years old last Saturday.

Mr. Tiffany, who is an artist and decorator, and is known in this country and abroad for his accomplishments in this direction, was born in New York on Feb. 18, 1848. He is the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, a jeweler and goldsmith, and in his early life showed a strong inclination toward the fine arts. Mr. Tiffany studied with George Inness and Samuel Coleman, then with Leon Bailly in Paris. He spent five years in Europe and the Orient, and besides working in water colors and oils he has devoted much of his time to the subject of decorative arts.

Mr. Tiffany became interested in glass and its possibilities in the early 70’s and revived the mosaic theory in the construction of colored glass windows. In 1878 he organized a company under the title of Louis C. Tiffany and Associated Artists, for the purpose of promoting decorative arts in America and particularly developing the making of colored glass windows. The name of the concern has undergone several changes and now is more generally known as the Tiffany Studios.

Mr. Tiffany has completed many notable works in mosaic which are on public display in New York and other cities. He has worked successfully in tapestry, rugs and other materials, pottery, metallic lusters and enamels, and has given much thought to art in jewelry and silverware. During his lifetime he has been honored many times and has received many decorations for his art work.

In 1918 Mr. Tiffany established the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation for art students at Oyster Bay, N. Y., and deeded to it his entire collection of paintings, glass and other art objects, with Laurelton Hall, his country home, the Museum, Tiffany Chapel, and over 60 acres of land, together with a $1,000,000 fund, the income of which is to be used for the maintenance and operation of the foundation.
