A Secret Archive in New York City that Saved Tiffany Lamps from Extinction

quote [ Whose job is it to safeguard one of the most hated designs in decorative history? In the case of the Tiffany lamp, it fell to a New York City orthodontist and immigrant from Austria who happened to be furniture shopping in Greenwich Village in 1935 when his wife spotted a “strange, old-fashioned lamp”. ]

If I said, "It's not camp to wear Tiffany lamps"

A lot.of the early stuff made by Tiffany has been lost in their records. My old man is an horologist and had a pocket watch they had no idea existed because their records don't go back as far as it was made (1890s?).
