Box designed by Charles Grosjean (1841-1888) for Tiffany & Co. Gorgeous rectangular box designed by Charles Grosjean for the Tiffany Studios in New York city., back in the 1889-1890. This box is the model 10212 from the Lap over Edge collection created during the art nouveau period under the directory presidency of Edward C. Moore (1873-1891). This extremely rare piece was crafted with intricate art nouveau patterns and decorated with organic florals motifs sculpted in solid sterling silver of .925/.999. As with all Tiffany pieces, the quality and design are beyond compare. Exceptional and rare example of Tiffany's finest work. This box appears to be a special order from Tiffany studios, as the initials LPE are fully integrated into the design at the bottom. These initials are not engraved, they are sculpted in high relief. This box is definitely exceptional. Weight: 178.2 Grams, (114.23 Dwt).
