The Heraldic Desk Set was first offered by Tiffany Studios around 1910. This rare Tiffany desk set features decorative motifs inspired by British heraldry. The surfaces of the cast bronze set are intended to replicate the texture of leather with additional cold painted enamel, with stylized borders mimicking riveted studs and strap work in oxidized silver patina.
This Memo Pad from the set is decorated with applied escutcheons in oxidized silver. A large central shield on the lid depicts the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
This rare example of Tiffany metalwork is fully signed.
