Tiffany Studios Groundhog candlestick for the Rowfant Club of Cleveland, Ohio 5 5/8"w x 4 1/4"d x 8 5/8"h
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
Tiffany Studios Groundhog candlestick for the Rowfant Club of Cleveland, Ohio New York, New York, 1903 bronze stamped marks This is numbered 69, out of an edition of 100. Designed by Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946) and modeled by J.L. Clark. 5 5/8"w x 4 1/4"d x 8 5/8"h Provenance: The Ira Simon Collection, Chicago, Illinois Literature: Duncan, Alastair, Tiffany Lamps and Metalware, Antique Collectors Club Art Books, 2019, p. 417 Catalog Note: The Rowfant Club was founded in 1892 as a private bibliophilic society for the prominent men of Cleveland, Ohio. Known for its unique traditions, members were instructed to bring a candlestick from home and use it to reserve their place at the club's weekly dinners. By 1901, the Rowfant Club had amassed an impressive collection of mismatched candlesticks, which fueled their desire for a custom candlestick. The club held their annual meeting every February 2, on Candlemas, to honor their respect for candlelight and printed books. This is also coincidentally Groundhog Day, and this serendipitous coincidence inspired them to begin calling themselves "The Gopher Club". Munson Aldrich Havens, a club member, wrote a commission request to the wildlife artist and author, Ernest Thompson Seton, for a candlestick holder that included the primary symbols of the club — the book, the candle and the groundhog. After many revisions, the final design was modeled by James Lippit Clark and produced as an edition of 100 by Tiffany Studios for the club's 10-year anniversary.

The commission for a custom candlestick for the Rowfant club came about during the ten year anniversary of the Cleveland based bibliophilic club. Club member, Munson Aldrich Havens, wrote a commission request to the wildlife artist and author, Ernest Thompson Seton, that the design be drawn by Seton and should contain three elements: the book, the candle, and the groundhog. After several revisions by the wildlife artist and author, the final design was eventually modeled by the artist and explorer James Lippitt Clark, and was produced as an edition of 100 by Tiffany Studios. Per consignor, originally belonged to Suzanne Jones' father-in-law, member of Rowfant Club. Additional high-resolution photos are available at www.lelandlittle.com
