23 Favrile Glass Ceiling Former Marshall’s Store in Chicago, Illinois

When Marshall Field & Company opened their flagship store in 1907, they unveiled this stunning ceiling made from 1.6 million pieces of small iridescent art glass called Favrile. It was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the son of the founder of the Tiffany’s luxury jeweler. Marshall Field’s, once the world’s largest department store, was acquired by Dayton-Hudson in 1990, then the May Company in 2004, followed by the Federated Department Store a year later. In 2006, it was renamed as Macy’s. Despite all of these owners, this ceiling still shines brightly.
