Tiffany Treasures: Design Drawings by Alice Gouvy and Lillian Palmie March 9, 2010

The restoration of eight watercolor sketches from the enamel department of the Tiffany Furnaces provides the impetus for the this exhibit. Executed by Alice Gouvy and Lillian Palmie around 1902, seven of the drawings bear their signatures. The eighth drawing, which is unsigned, was most likely by either Gouvy or Palmie. The drawings served as a reference for the design and production of Tiffany's luxury household objects, increasingly in demand by a wealthy American consumer society.
