Created around 1895-1900, shortly after the firm's triumph at the 1889 Paris Exposition, this white enamel gardenia brooch in 18K gold belongs to an enduringly popular Tiffany & Co. collection of orchids and garden flowers. Rare, diminutive and and exquisitely modeled, the brooch is a poetic example of Tiffany's long and multi-faceted exploration of the beauty of flowers.
