Stevengraph is in great<br>condition, original frame shows some wear.<br><br><br>The Fascinating World of Stevengraphs.<br><br>By Bill Poese.<br><br>THE FASCINATING silk pictures that we know today as Stevengraphs actually had<br>their origin in a depression in England's far flung textile industry, and<br>Richard Cobden, a 19th century English economist and statesman, may claim some<br>of the credit.<br><br>In 1860, the so-called Cobden Treaty, a free-trade treaty negotiated by Cobden<br>and removing England's protective tariff on silks, brocades and ribbons, among<br>other things, took effect. Its impact upon Coventry, where English ribbon<br>weaving had been concentrated for 150 years, was devastating. Forty five per<br>cent of Coventry's population earned their livelihood from ribbon weaving. Looms<br>were destroyed, and during a two-year period 9,000 persons emigrated to foreign<br>countries in search of employment.<br><br>But there was one man who was resourceful enough to overcome the blow<br>sufficiently to provide for his own family, the weavers in his employ, and, in a<br>small way, to bolster the economy of Coventry. This man was Thomas Stevens, born<br>in 1828 in the outlying district of Foleshill.<br><br>As a boy, Thomas Stevens had learned the ribbon weaver's trade at the firm of<br>Pears and Franklin in Upper Well Street, Coventry, and in 1854 he set up his own<br>business in Queen Street. He had learned all the aspects of his trade well and<br>the jacquard loom was of particular interest to him.<br><br>This loom was a French invention of about 1790 of Joseph Jacquard that had been<br>introduced into England in 1820, and its excellence was recognized quickly, so<br>that by 1838 as many as 2,200 jacquard looms were thumping in Coventry. The<br>principle of the jacquard loom is based upon the fact that mechanically-operated<br>devices controlled loops and pulleys to weave patterns in textiles.<br><br>Thomas Stevens improved, adapted, and refined the loom by a series of inventions<br>so that he could produce silk pieces that have exquisite detail with what seems<br>to be a three-dimensional effect. He produced pictures, musical notes, lettering<br>and portraits of amazing beauty. The first step in producing Stevengraph works<br>was an artist's drawing on squared paper. These designs were originals, copies<br>of portraits, copies of prints, and often of texts in the manner of illuminated<br>manuscripts. The Victorian love of covering the entire surface of the piece is<br>often in evidence in these pieces. The squared paper pictures look like designs<br>for cross-stitch embroidery work.<br><br>Large cards were made that carried out the artist's picture and a separate card<br>was made and per- forated for each color in every single woven line of the<br>picture. The cards were put into an endless chain arrangement and placed in the<br>Jacquard loom to regulate the operation of the warp threads. Every time the<br>shuttle carrying the weft was placed across the loom, a different card calling<br>for a variation in the warp threads and consequently in the pattern was brought<br>into use. Many pieces used ten to 12 colors. After the entire pattern was<br>completed, a space was provided and the pattern began to repeat itself. In this<br>way, the weaver produced spools of beautifully woven picture ribbons that were<br>later cut apart at the separating areas. Because of the work involved in placing<br>the cards in the loom, many picture ribbons were woven before a change was made<br>and a different set of cards was used. One 13-inch-long bookmarker that Stevens<br>produced required 5,500 perforated cards.<br><br>Thomas Stevens was not the only Coventry weaver who was able to survive the<br>depression by weaving pictorial ribbons nor was he the first to produce pictures<br>on the Jacquard loom. As early as 1801 in Lyons, black-and-white portraits had<br>amazed people. In 1855, James Hart wove silk pictures depicting Queen Victoria<br>and Napoleon 111, and in 1858 John Caldicott wove a ribbon with a portrait of<br>Edward Ellice, who was the Member of Parliament from Coventry. But the best<br>known of the jacquard picture weavers was Thomas Stevens. It is he who stands<br>out above the others and it is he who invented the term "Stevengraph."<br><br>By 1862, Stevens had produced nine bookmarkers of different designs. During 1862<br>he registered four new patterns: "Unchanging Love," "I wish you a Merry<br>Christmas," "Thanksgiving," and "Thy Bridal Day." During this same year he pro-<br>duced a few larger pieces that were desirable for framing, but he evidently<br>changed his mind about the pictures because he produced no more of them during<br>the next 16 years, confining himself, instead, to producing his popular<br>bookmarkers.<br><br>Just who made the first Stevengraph-type bookmarker is a matter of considerable<br>dispute and the contenders for the honor are John Caldicott, John Ratliff, and<br>perhaps Thomas Stevens. Among Stevens's contemporaries who did the same sort of<br>jacquard picture weaving were, in addition to those just named, the brothers<br>John and Joseph Cash, and Dalton and Barton.<br><br>In 1863, the royal marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and in 1864,<br>the tercentenary of Shakespeare's birth gave the weavers ample subject matter to<br>satisfy the demands of a souvenir-hungry nation. Strangely enough, at this time<br>Stevens's competition dropped out of the race and left him a clear field for a<br>period of time to produce his bookmarkers and allied items.<br><br>By the late 1880s he had produced more than 900 items and among them are<br>sachets, birthday verses, Christmas and New Year greetings, calendars, fans,<br>valentines, ladies' neckties and sashes, emblematic sashes for fraternal orders,<br>pictures suitable for framing, and of course, the always popular bookmarkers,<br>many with tassel-tipped ends. They vary in size from 1 1/4 by 4 inches to 7 1/2<br>by 13 inches for the mounted pictures and his various items sold for as low as 5<br>cents, to as much as $14 for a sash. Stevengraphs were given as premiums to<br>people who subscribed to The Ladies Floral Cabinet in 1877.<br><br>Competition developed in the 1870s by Bolland and Welch and Lenton, who copied<br>his bookmarkers, and in the 1880s by W. H. Grant, who imitated his mounted<br>pictures.<br><br>Stevens became the father or seven children. In 1878 he moved to London to<br>supervise his expanding business. By this time he had sales agencies in New York<br>City, Cincinnati, Leipzig, Glasgow, Dublin, and Londonderry, in addition to<br>London. To stimulate sales at the expositions that were popular during the<br>period of his greatest activity he sent weavers with his version of the jacquard<br>loom to many of them. There, people could watch a piece being woven, buy it and<br>take it home as a souvenir of the fair. Among the places he or his sons did this<br>were the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, 1876; York Exposition, 1879;<br>Edinburgh, 1886; Manchester, 1887; Cincinnati 1888; London, 1890; Chicago, 1893;<br>St. Louis, 1904; and Paris, Antwerp, Liverpool, Bristol, Boston, Brussels, and<br>Paris.<br><br>After winning more than 30 medals and diplomas, Thomas Stevens died on October<br>24, 1888, in London and was buried in the family plot in Coventry. Two of his<br>sons, Thomas and Inger, who, before his death managed the Coventry plant, con-<br>tinued the business.<br><br>Thomas Stevens had established pleasant working conditions in an industry that<br>was noted for poor conditions. His plant had adequate lighting, ventilation, a<br>pleasant dining area, and it was sanitary.<br><br>The heavy German ings of Coventry in 1940 leveled his buildings and his<br>business, but he lives on in the appreciation of hundreds of antique collectors<br>who specialize in Stevengraphs, including 175 active members of the Stevengraph<br>Collectors' Association with its headquarters at Irvington-on-Hudson, N.Y., and<br>members in England, Canada, Scotland, Austrialia, South Africa, and New Zealand<br>as well as the United States.<br><br>The highest price paid at auction for a Stevengraph was $1,560 in April, 1972,<br>in London. The article was a mint example of L' Immaculee Conception and is<br>extremely rare. Many examples of Stevens's work, however, are offered for modest<br>prices that are within the price range of many collectors. Individuals are<br>concerned with authenticating items in their collections as being made by<br>Stevens and also with dating them. Both of these matters present difficulties. A<br>pattern could be set up on the cards in 1865, and many times years later the<br>same cards could be used again to produce identical items. There was no limited<br>edition with the mold or etching plate being destroyed. Certain items can be<br>dated by the events they portray and the dates they bear as the one for the<br>Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. Some can be dated by the number of<br>awards that are noted on the paper backing on some pieces. Many, of course, are<br>signed in the weaving. A diamond-shaped registry mark like that on pottery dates<br>many since this device was used from 1842 to 1883.<br><br>Thomas Stevens was a businessman who produced a salable luxury or souvenir<br>product. If the subject matter was attractive and the sentiment appealed, people<br>would buy them for themselves or as a little gift for a friend. As a result, he<br>and his successors' designs reflect Victorian tastes that were, in many cases,<br>universal tastes at the time. Among the portraits are those of Queen Victoria,<br>Shakespeare, King Edward VII, John L. Sullivan, Robert Burns, "Buffalo Bill"<br>Cody, Prince Otto von Bismark, and President and Mrs. Cleveland.<br><br>Under the general heading of views we find many English castles such as<br>Balmoral, Kenilworth, Warwick, and Windsor. Other views include the Crystal<br>Palace, Houses of Parliament, Tower of London and the Tower Bridge, and the<br>Centennial Exposition of Ohio Valley and Central States, Cincinnati, 1888.<br>Historical pictures include Columbus Leaving Spain, Landing of Columbus,<br>Declaration of Independence, and the Death of Nelson. Classical and legendary<br>subject matter can be found in those weavings that depict Peeping Tom, Leda, The<br>Lady Godiva Procession, and Bath of Psyche. Certain items display the<br>sentimentality of Victorians as God Speed the Plough, Good Old Days, Called to<br>the Rescue, Grace Darling, and For Life or Death. Many battleships and trains<br>are pictured and so are many sporting events. Among the latter are depictions of<br>Spanish bull, horse racing, fox , cricket, bicycle racing, tennis, and baseball.<br><br>Thomas Stevens was a highly skilled master of a delicate craft that resulted in<br>articles that will be held in high esteem as long as their silken fibers hold<br>together.<br>Tw61

Antique Stevens and Williams Red and white cameo glass vase. 7.25" tall with no cracks, chips, or restorations. Late 19th to very early 20th century.Cameo glass is a luxury form of glass art produced by cameo glass engraving or etching and carving through fused layers of differently colored glass to produce designs, usually with white opaque glass figures and motifs on a dark-colored background. The technique is first seen in ancient Roman art of about 30 BC, where it was an alternative to the more luxurious engraved gem vessels in cameo style that used naturally layered semi-precious gemstones such as onyx and agate. Glass allowed consistent and predictable colored layers, even for round objects.isshelf

Selling one with two available by changing qty.Charles Tiffany was born February 15, 1812 in Killingly, Connecticut. About 25 years later, in 1837, Charles Tiffany and John Young, and later in 1841, they added J.L.. Ellis as a partner, began Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower Manhattan. That company at the time was founded at first to sell fancy goods and stationery. Tiffany bought his parents shares of the company in 1853 and changed the focus of the company to sell upscale jewelry and merchandise. Once Tiffany bought his parent’s shares, the company was renamed to Tiffany & Co. In 1867, Tiffany & Co. was the first United States based company to win an award for excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1868, the company became incorporated, had four stores and was on the right path to continue to grow to the company that it is today.A Humble Start When Young and Tiffany began their business, they originally started off with offering items such as stationery and merchandise before moving on to offering jewelry and silverware. The business continued to grow and manufacture jewelry, and later opened a location in Paris. His stores adopted the standards of European jewelry and therefore, sterling became established in the United States and the American jewelry market.Tiffany was determined to obtain one-of-a-kind jewelry. It was that desire which helped fuel how much his products were sought out, specifically among the upper classes of New York. The jewelry created by the company became partially well known because of the wealthy people who desired its products. In the 1830’s, Tiffany made it’s mark in the jewelry world at the time because they clearly marked the prices on their goods. This eliminated the chance that customers would haggle and try to negotiate the prices of the goods that they were purchasing at the time. Additionally, Tiffany’s was unique at the time because they only accepted cash payments and didn’t allow their goods to be purchased on credit.With the Civil War threatening jewelry purchasing at the time, Tiffany adjusted the focus of his company and ended up manufacturing swords, medals, light armor and many other items that were needed for war. In 1877, Tiffany & Co. had become such an established name that it easily influenced the industry and was able to make outlandish purchases. This when the now called “Tiffany diamond” (a yellow South African diamond) was purchased for $18,000 at 287 carats. The diamond was cut down to 128.54 carats over nearly a year and was eventually put on display in the Smithsonian. Today, Tiffany & Co. is an American worldwide luxury jeweler and specialty retailer, headquartered in New York City.Understanding the Markings While Tiffany & Co. is famous for the “Tiffany diamond” they are even more famous for their use of sterling silver. When looking at actually sterling silver that is made by Tiffany’s there are several markings that can help you figure out the origin and if a piece is indeed made by Tiffany’s or fake. At the start, there were several silversmiths who supplied silver flatware and holloware to Tiffany’s. Each of those silversmiths marked the pieces with their own marks in addition to marking them with Tiffany’s marks. Some of the makes of Tiffany’s sterling silver include William Gale, Gale & Hughes, Wood & Hughes, John Polhemus, Henry Hebbard, William Bogert, Grosjean & Woodward, Moore & Hebbard and John C. Moore.In 1868, Moore silversmithing firm was absorbed into Tiffany & Co. and Tiffany’s then began the production of its own silver. It was at that time that the silver was to be marked with the initial of the Artistic Director or the initial of the President of the firm but that was continued until the mid-1960’s.

B17<br><br>Charles Tiffany was born February 15, 1812 in Killingly, Connecticut. About 25<br>years later, in 1837, Charles Tiffany and John Young, and later in 1841, they<br>added J.L.. Ellis as a partner, began Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower<br>Manhattan. That company at the time was founded at first to sell fancy goods and<br>stationery. Tiffany bought his parents shares of the company in 1853 and changed<br>the focus of the company to sell upscale jewelry and merchandise. Once Tiffany<br>bought his parent’s shares, the company was renamed to Tiffany & Co. In 1867,<br>Tiffany & Co. was the first United States based company to win an award for<br>excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1868, the<br>company became incorporated, had four stores and was on the right path to<br>continue to grow to the company that it is today.<br><br>A Humble Start<br>When Young and Tiffany began their business, they originally started off with<br>offering items such as stationery and merchandise before moving on to offering<br>jewelry and silverware. The business continued to grow and manufacture jewelry,<br>and later opened a location in Paris. His stores adopted the standards of<br>European jewelry and therefore, sterling became established in the United States<br>and the American jewelry market.<br><br>Tiffany was determined to obtain one-of-a-kind jewelry. It was that desire which<br>helped fuel how much his products were sought out, specifically among the upper<br>classes of New York. The jewelry created by the company became partially well<br>known because of the wealthy people who desired its products. In the 1830’s,<br>Tiffany made it’s mark in the jewelry world at the time because they clearly<br>marked the prices on their goods. This eliminated the chance that customers<br>would haggle and try to negotiate the prices of the goods that they were<br>purchasing at the time. Additionally, Tiffany’s was unique at the time because<br>they only accepted cash payments and didn’t allow their goods to be purchased on<br>credit.<br><br>With the Civil War threatening jewelry purchasing at the time, Tiffany adjusted<br>the focus of his company and ended up manufacturing swords, medals, light armor<br>and many other items that were needed for war. In 1877, Tiffany & Co. had become<br>such an established name that it easily influenced the industry and was able to<br>make outlandish purchases. This when the now called “Tiffany diamond” (a yellow<br>South African diamond) was purchased for $18,000 at 287 carats. The diamond was<br>cut down to 128.54 carats over nearly a year and was eventually put on display<br>in the Smithsonian. Today, Tiffany & Co. is an American worldwide luxury jeweler<br>and specialty retailer, headquartered in New York City.<br><br>Understanding the Markings<br>While Tiffany & Co. is famous for the “Tiffany diamond” they are even more<br>famous for their use of sterling silver. When looking at actually sterling<br>silver that is made by Tiffany’s there are several markings that can help you<br>figure out the origin and if a piece is indeed made by Tiffany’s or fake. At the<br>start, there were several silversmiths who supplied silver flatware and<br>holloware to Tiffany’s. Each of those silversmiths marked the pieces with their<br>own marks in addition to marking them with Tiffany’s marks. Some of the makes of<br>Tiffany’s sterling silver include William Gale, Gale & Hughes, Wood & Hughes,<br>John Polhemus, Henry Hebbard, William Bogert, Grosjean & Woodward, Moore &<br>Hebbard and John C. Moore.<br><br>In 1868, Moore silversmithing firm was absorbed into Tiffany & Co. and Tiffany’s<br>then began the production of its own silver. It was at that time that the silver<br>was to be marked with the initial of the Artistic Director or the initial of the<br>President of the firm but that was continued until the mid-1960’s. Each design<br>on the silver that Tiffany’s creates represents the long and proud heritage that<br>comes with the company’s history.
