The Decorative Arts collection at the Johnson Museum is a varied and rich grouping of approximately 1500 western works in many media from the ancient world to the present. Perhaps most notable is the Johnson’s collection of over two hundred works of Tiffany glass—vessels, lamps, candleholders, and desk items, many donated by A. Douglas Nash, son of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s most important assistant, glassmaker Arthur J. Nash. Also featured are a significant group of British decorative arts, ranging from Wedgwood to Arts & Crafts silver items from Liberty & Co., Christopher Dresser, and C.R. Ashbee. The collection also includes a one of the most important groups of American and European medallic art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the United States.
