“Tiffany & Co.“ 90’s-00’s Moon motif Photo frame

Since its founding in 1837, Tiffany & Co. has infused elegance not only into jewelry, but also into objects that naturally accompany everyday life—offering a singular piece in which playful spirit and sculptural beauty quietly coexist.

In this truly Tiffany-like piece, a poetic motif of the moon—evoking a profile—has been sculpturally etched into a rounded circular form. The sterling silver frame that borders the entire piece not only serves as an outer rim, but is also structured to form the very outline of the moon, resulting in a finish that exudes a presence comparable to wall décor or a desk ornament.

What is particularly striking is the face line shaped as it cuts into the right side: while the area from the forehead to the bridge of the nose, the lips, and to the tip of the chin is rendered in exceptionally concise lines, the moment you see it, the form clearly reads as a person’s profile. This is a testament to the high level of craftsmanship of the work. In addition, small circular protrusions are placed where the eyes would be. Even though they are kept to a bare minimum as decoration, they add a charming touch and refined grace that prevents the design from feeling purely lifeless or purely mechanical.

As for its era, it is most naturally viewed as an example from the 1990s to the early 2000s. The classic stamped mark “TIFFANY & CO. 925 STERLING” on the metal rim, the embossed specification on the rear leather, and the moon motif itself featuring this face all align with motifs that were popular in Tiffany’s gift line and home collections at the time. For these reasons, there is a certain degree of credibility to this estimation. Furthermore, the piece shows no modern serial management practices or overly industrial finishing; its slightly classic structure, combining metal and leather, also serves as a reinforcing element for the sense of its period.
