The two photograph frames at the left, in the Art Nouveau style, were made by Tiffany Studios from the early 1900s onward as their patterns remained popular into the 1920s. Desk sets and a number of other objects were available in both. The two photograph frames to the right are in a geometric pattern probably first made in the teens, but were fully compatible with the 1920s style that has since become known as Art Deco.
