George
Paulding Farnham (1859-1927) was born in New York City. His aunt
married Charles T Cook, who assumed presidency of Tiffany after the
death of Charles L Tiffany in 1902. Farnham attended Tiffany school and
was trained by Edward C Moore and Charles Gosjean. He stayed with
Tiffany and eventually became a board member in 1888 and in 1893 was
appointed chief designer and head of jewelry later also assuming the
role of artistic director of the silver department as well. His flatware
designs were similar to jewelry designs, very ornate, elaborate, and in
"beaux arts" tradition. He created six full sterling lines for Tiffany
during his time, before leaving Tiffany in 1908.
