A facsimile edition of artist Meta Overbeck’s notebook of Tiffany & Co jewelry designs, along with a fascinating introductory essay about the significance of the book.
This archival treasure contains exquisite gemstone compositions that were a source of designs for Louis Comfort Tiffany’s increasingly well-known company in the early twentieth century.
Meta Overbeck (1879-1956) was an artist and longtime head of the enamel and jewelry department at Tiffany & Co. Throughout her time at Tiffany, Overbeck built her design book, a carefully assembled, thirty-six-page tour de force. She rendered her jewelry designs in gouache, watercolor, ink, and pencil before adding her meticulous annotations and piecing together the drawings onto kraft paper.
