Lot #110: Tiffany “Magnolias and Irises” Museum Music Box – After Louis Comfort Tiffany, ca. 1908 De

An exceptional museum-authorized music box inspired by Magnolias and Irises, one of the most celebrated leaded-glass window designs by Louis Comfort Tiffany. This refined piece translates Tiffany’s luminous artistry into an elegant, collectible object that bridges fine art, decorative design, and musical heritage. Produced for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the box faithfully captures a detail from the original window: delicately rendered magnolia blossoms and irises framing a serene, winding landscape. The imagery is kiln-fired onto a ceramic tile and set within a finely finished wooden case with a hinged lid, reflecting the craftsmanship and restraint associated with museum editions. When opened, the box plays a selection from Swan Lake by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, adding a layer of classical romance and sensory refinement. The combination of visual art and music creates a quietly luxurious experience—designed to be savored rather than merely displayed. This piece is more than a decorative object; it is a tangible connection to the golden age of American decorative arts and to Tiffany’s enduring legacy as a master of color, light, and form. Ideal for collectors of Tiffany, Art Nouveau design, or museum-quality objects, it also makes a distinguished gift or a sophisticated accent for a curated interior. A rare opportunity to own a tasteful, historically grounded tribute to one of America’s most important decorative artists—elegant, timeless, and unmistakably refined.
