Museum-Inspired Notecards

Put pen to paper in artful style. These luxurious single note cards feature golden dragonflies embossed on high-quality paper stock, making a memorable impression. The design source for our elegant correspondence cards is a hair ornament (ca. 1904) in The Met collection that depicts, in precious materials, a pair of delicate dragonflies resting on dandelions.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, 1848–1933) was an artistic giant of the Gilded Age who embraced virtually every medium. Looking to wildlife and botanical sources, he and other turn-of-the-century artists employed dragonflies as a favorite motif to convey the beauty and transience of the natural world.
