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.
