This mirror is a rare object from Louis Comfort Tiffany’s glass and decorating company. Although Tiffany is best known for leaded glass windows and lamps, artists like Clara Driscoll, Joseph Briggs, and many others also creatively arranged and mounted fragments of the company’s signature, iridescent Favrile glass into large-scale panels, architectural elements, and luxurious objects for the home. The intricate design and lustrous quality of lotus blossoms circling the looking glass are testament to the artistry and technical skill of the firm’s collaborators.
