    Description

    30+ feet of salvaged LC Tiffany Carrara marble trim inlaid with his glass.
    Many possible decorative uses. I trimmed out a marble tub deck (pics, 2, 3 & 4). What I have for sale is surplus to project.
    Taken from lobby of Citizens' Savings and Trust in Cleveland, built in 1903. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_Building - interior pic attached)
    Described as the most beautiful bank west of NYC when built.
    I have several newspaper clippings during  construction and grand opening, with eye witness accounts of Tiffany craftsmen at work on site.
    Apparently the marble was  trimmed to "height" as needed on-site during installation, so some tile saw work is needed to bring all pieces to a uniform height - not a big deal here.
    What I have left is divided into two "bevel angles" types, I classified  them Type A (5' lineal) and Type B (25' lineal). See last pic drawing for summary info and cross section.
    Note: Lengths were measure tip to tip, so some include the mitred corners.
    Also have a box  of "off-ends" and couple of flooring pieces (2 pics).
    Note: Very similar trim was used in the Ayer Mansion (Commonwealth Ave) in Boston in 1903. This is Tiffany's only fully extant decorated interior that is still intact (pic).
    Local pickup,  or  I can arrange for a custom crate of sorts.
    Im not an everyday ebay checking, so give me a few days.
