Paulding Farnham was a workmaster and designer who worked for Tiffany & Co. for 23 years, from 1885 to 1908 and is best known for his delicate brooches inspired by flowers particularly, orchids, pansies and iris. One of the most famous Tiffany & Co. jewels designed by Farnham, an early 20th Century Iris corsage brooch, was famously exhibited at the `Exhibition Universelle' in Paris in 1900. The present lot is a delicate homage to Paulding Farnham's Iris brooch design for Tiffany & Co.
