Tiffany Studios introduced the Heraldic Desk Set around 1910. This rare Tiffany desk set features decorative elements inspired by British armorial bearings and heraldry.
The surfaces of the cast bronze set are intended to replicate the texture of leather with additional cold paint, this example in a muted shade of green.
This Calendar Frame from the set is decorated with an applied escutcheon featuring a representation of the three lions passant (the coat of arms of England), in addition to borders which reference riveted studs and straps, in oxidized silver.
This rare example of Tiffany metalwork is fully signed.
