Chrysanthemum (c1880) originally called indian chrysanthemum. Tiffany's luxurious chrysanthemum silver was designed in 1880 by charles grosjean. With its flowing curves, swirling vegetation, meandering tendrils, and exotic blossoming flowers, chrysanthemum is characteristic of the tiffany style or art nouveau, as the naturalistic style is now commonly known. The rich and graceful flowering motifs of chrysanthemum were undoubtedly influenced by founder louis comfort tiffany. They make chrysanthemum the most sumptuous of any american pattern. Designed by charles grosjean (1841-1888). Grosjean worked in his family's firm which produced high end silverware to prominent new york city retailers, including tiffany. Upon his father's death, grosjean left his family firm to become superintendent of tiffany's silver factory in 1868.
