From The Tiffany Archives – Featured in the House’s award-winning display at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, these orchid brooches were conceived by Tiffany & Co. designer George Paulding Farnham. Emerging during a global craze for exotic orchids, with wealthy collectors investing in greenhouses and funding plant-hunting expeditions, the brooches were highly praised in the press for being “so perfect, so life-like in their grace and charm, they give the illusion of being natural.” #TiffanyAndCo
