ELEGANT GLASSWARE

A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF 1940S CANDLEABRAS FROM THE ELEGANT GLASSWARE PERIOD

Elegant glassware is almost always free of bubbles, mold seams and other flaws common in lesser quality wares like Depression glass. Fine manufacturing and finishing techniques used by elegant glassware manufacturers account for this superior quality whether the pieces are blown or pressed.
Which Companies Produced Elegant Glass?
Some shapes, patterns and colors in the Depression-era glassware category do have some elegant attributes. But it’s the fine glassware produced by makers like Fostoria, Heisey, Cambridge, and Duncan and Miller Glass Company that truly fall into this category.

JOHN JELLIFF

WE NOW HAVE A PAIR OF THE MOST FANTASTIC JELLIFF PARLOUR CHAIRS IN THE SHOP. RUMOR HAS IT THAT THE FEMALE CARVINGS ON THE ARMS AND THE CREST OF THE FURNITURE WERE PATTERNED FROM JOHN JELLIFF'S WIFE.

JOHN JELLIFF
John Jelliff of Newark, New Jersey was one of the more popular craftsmen of Renaissance Revival furniture. His parlor sets featured carved heads on the arms and crest, with Sevres painted plaques sometimes in the crests. Many gargantuan pieces of this style were produced with some sideboards or beds exceeding 14' in height. The Renaissance Revival period reached its zenith at the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 where many of the foremost furniture makers of the period exhibited their proudest accomplishments.
