My tie today shows a Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass window, from the Howell Hinds house, designed around 1900. Dr. Gary Kuhnhenn gave me this tie from his collection, and his birthday arrives on 17 June. He got to see me and the tie this morning at our "online donuts" Zoom meeting. Happy Birthday, Gary!
Happy Thanksgiving! My tie's design is based on a Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass window, described this way: "In this window commissioned for the Howell Hinds house around 1900, thousands of richly colored glass pieces have been arranged and layered to paint an idyllic three-dimensional scene that would have warmly glowed in the afternoon sunlight." It shows a richly-flowered portico. The window is on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a new-to-me tie, originally belonging to my EKU comrade Gary Kuhnhenn. It is based on a Louis Comfort Tiffany-designed window, described this way: "In this window commissioned for the Howell Hinds house around 1900, thousands of richly colored glass pieces have been arranged and layered to paint an idyllic three-dimensional scene that would have warmly glowed in the afternoon sunlight. Located at 2200 Overlook Road in Cleveland, Ohio, the house was demolished in 1930 in a similar fate as other nearby estates. Photographs show the placement of the window in the drawing room next to the fireplace as well as the opulent interiors Louis Comfort Tiffany designed for the library and dining room." The window is on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art. I enjoy the bright colors in this "idyllic three-dimensional scene."
