With the possible exceptions of Gustave Stickley and Frank Lloyd Wright, the work of no American designer of domestic interiors is as immediately recognizable—and as popular—as that of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Tiffany (1848–1933) was the son of the founder of the famous luxury-goods emporium, and on his father's death in 1902 he inherited $3 million, a chunk of which he devoted to building a grand country estate on Long Island. The house, Laurelton Hall, burned in 1957. However, several architectural fragments have survived, as well as portions of its decorative fabric and contents, which had been auctioned off some years earlier. This material, including a beautiful Favrile-glass frieze that once adorned the transoms in the dining room, has now been brought together in a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (through May 20, 2007).
