Noon at Tiffany's

The secret of the world-famous Tiffany lamps

The unpublished story of art designer Clara Wolcott.

In the summer of 1888, a bold young artist named Clara Wolcott entered the Manhattan office of the famous Louis Tiffany to ask him for a job as a designer. For years, her role in Tiffany's multi-million dollar glass beauty empire remained one of the best kept secrets. A secret so explosive that when it was revealed, the international art world gasped in amazement.

"When I look at the windows, mosaics and lamps that my sister created, I see her soul in them. I always considered Clara one of God's chosen. We have been blessed to live in her company and walk in her light. Her memory is a star that will shine for the rest of our days."
- Emily Wolcott, 1944

Tiffany's famous lamps, magnificent mosaic windows and thousands of other beautiful objects are not his own work at all, as the whole world was convinced until recently. We would all believe it to this day if Clara's voice hadn't been heard more than a hundred years later from unexpectedly found letters... The colourful period mosaic transports us through time as if by magic. It was as if we were suddenly walking around Manhattan ourselves and seeing it just as it used to be.
