About the Designer

This rare window was executed by the Rudy Brothers Co. at the turn of the century. The Rudy Brothers were responsible for some of Louis Comfort Tiffany's finer face painting's in Tiffany's figural windows. The Rudy Brothers helped establish and were important employees of Louis Comfort Tiffany's Company in the 1880's when it was called Tiffany glass and Decorating New York. The brothers later opened their own company becoming a big competitor of Tiffany Glass and Decorating and later on Tiffany Studios.

The Rudy Brothers executed magnificent and elaborate leaded art glass window for some of the weal theist industrialists of their time. Their work in later years has often been mistaken for Tiffany and, in the near future, will become historically important along with Tiffany. This window is an important example showing the development and influence that the Rudy Brothers had on Tiffany's early works and is a grand display of the windows in the Gilded age. These examples of art glass windows from the Gilded age are becoming very rare on the market and will appreciate in value.
