Lap Over Edge by Tiffany (Mixed Metals)

This pattern by Tiffany is offered in different forms. This particular design is "mixed metals". Lap Over Edge is one of Tiffany's most detailed and complex patterns. The motiffs are three dimensional and of natural designs, representing flora and fauna. This is one of their Japanese patterns. The details and enhancements are true art. These pieces are now valued by collectors with some individual pieces costing as much as $7k.


The pattern was designed by Charles Grosjean and introduced in 1880. It became inactive in 1904.
