The pinnacle of crafting and uniqueness, could be purchased there!

The son of the emporium’s founder, Louis Comfort Tiffany;
Studied art with many great teachers, a painter he desired to be!
He was relatively successful, but in eighteen seventy-nine;
He became President and Art Director of Tiffany’s, there devoting all of his time!

He created the famous Favrile Glass, the finest ever known;
Exquisite examples of glassware, in the store were always shown!

Would be sought instead of old gas ones, for they turned on automatically!
