Frank Lloyd Wright Luxfer Tiles, Handel Era

44

Here are four saw tooth tiles, designed by the very hand of arguably the finest architect of all time, "Frank Lloyd Wright " The Luxfer Glass Company in Chicago was commissioned to make these tiles starting in 1890 through 1915. These tiles were popular until that new fangled invention, known as "electricity ". These tiles were installed in hotels, banks, train stations and all sorts of applications. F.L. Wright's patent was for the aesthetic beauty and particularly for their ability to redirect natural light from outside to inside the building. This was accomplished with the saw tooth design. They have a slight purple tint because the sun has effected the magnesium in the glass over these 100 years. This auction is for 4 tiles. I also have available the flowered tiles and prairie style frames with the Harvey Ellis arch and square pegs. All tiles are 4"x4" and excellent.
