Antique tidbit for the day. In the 1950s some of the tables and lamps produced by Dunbar, designed by Edward Wormley, came inlaid with genuine antique Louis Comfort Tiffany Favrille glass tiles, which were produced in the early 1900s and often used around fireplaces and mantlepieces. Where and when the Dunbar Furniture Company managed to get such an abundance of such antique tiles is something I am still researching, although legend has it that Edward Wormley bought a large lot of them in an auction early in the 1950s.
