The HERTER and TIFFANY families had a long relationship, and this continued with their sons, Albert Herter and Louis Comfort Tiffany. They combined their talents in creating the 'Herter Lions' stain glass Tiffany windows.

The Herter art at the El Mirasol was diverse, and was described as
"exquisite, each is a masterpiece of its kind.

Albert Herter designed these twelve stain-glass windows for the new Herter estate in 1909. They were crafted by Louis Comfort Tiffany and executed by Tiffany Studios and proudly displayed in the main Herter mansion.

These arch-top stain glass windows were 'jeweled' and hung over interior double-doors, and featured two lion heads with Sunflower star-burst manes.

In the mansion's Persian Room, the Herter windows were framed by sunflower motif wallpaper designed by Christian Herter of the Herter Brothers.
