Inspired by the graphic disorder of nature—flowers and foliage, fruits and insects—and the varied American landscape, LCT became known for his organic designs. In his talented hands, garnets became berries with leaves of green enamel; opals in a grape motif recalled the arbors of New England; and black opals, demantoid garnets and platinum took flight in a dragonfly brooch.
A century later, his work, which is rooted in naturalism, continues to influence Tiffany designs.
