How to Care for a Lamp

Author: LampLampLamp

Tiffany floor lamps

There are different ways of caring for Tiffany lamps (such as Tiffany floor lamps)- it all depends on the type of glass that was used to make the lamp.

If it’s opaque glass, you can clean your lamp with furniture polish made with lemon oil. Polish evenly with a clean rag. Lamps made with transparent glass can be cleaned with a regular glass cleaner.

On the other hand, if your lamp is made with jadestone, clean the jadestone with furniture oil that is made with lemon oil. If you have a Mica Tiffany lamp, do not make the mistake of using commercial cleaners. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth instead. If your Tiffany lamp is made of fabric so it does gather dust, but you can easily clean it with a duster, just make sure you don’t dust with a heavy hand. Otherwise, you will just be pushing the dust into the fabric. Should there be dust particles that won’t come off, wipe using a clean, dry rag.

Tiffany lamps are designed using superb pieces of stained glass that are soldered together to have magnificent designs and conceptual motifs. These lamps also have solid metal bases which are decorated delicately. It was Louis Comfort Tiffany who designed these wonderful creations.

custom made Tiffany lamps

People should be unique beings – not sheep herded by trends and fads.  Your tastes should reflect exactly who you are, and not an approximation.  With that said, you should start with the little things, such as custom made Tiffany lamps.  Tiffany lamps go in-and-out of style every so often, but they still represent a simple time in home décor history.

No two Tiffany lamps look the same, but you should still make an effort to find one that suits your personality best.

What is a Wall Sconce?

stained glass sconces

Wall lights, or sconces, are mounted on the wall and create soft ambient light and subtle background lighting.  Wall lights can be directional or they can emit light all around.

Wall sconces come in different styles, with the most popular emulating the look of stained glass windows; these can be found in several different outlets from secondhand retail stores to online stores that specialize in the wall sconces or light fixtures.

A Look at Stained Glass

Author: LampLampLamp

Stain glass gifts

Stain glass gifts are among the best presents to give and receive.  It’s traditional sensibility and unique look makes it a cornerstone in art.  But how did stained glass come about initially?

Colored glass has been produced since ancient times.  Both the Egyptians and the Romans excelled at creating small colored glass objects.  In the Early Christian churches of the 4th and 5th centuries, there are many remaining windows which are filled with ornate patterns of thinly-sliced alabaster set into wooden frames, giving a stained-glass like effect. Similar effects were achieved with greater elaboration using colored glass rather than stone by Muslim architects in Southwest Asia.

In the 8th century, the Arab chemist Jabir ibn Hayyan (Geber) scientifically described 46 original recipes for producing colored glass in Kitab al-Durra al-Maknuna (The Book of the Hidden Pearl), in addition to which 12 recipes were inserted by al-Marrakishi in a later edition of the book. Jabir also described the production of high quality colored glass cut into artificial gemstones.

Tiffany lamps

If you’re looking for inspiration or some sophistication to add to your home, you can’t go wrong with Tiffany lamps

Tiffany lamps are lamps with a stained glass shield.  Though they’re largely attributed to the Art Nouveau movement, they can really find a home anywhere.  They make very excellent decorative pieces, as well as having a practical use.  If you have an empty spot on that bedside table of yours, I bet a Tiffany lamp would look especially great there.

Custom-made Stained Glass Window Corners

Author: admin

I have always loved and admired stained glass art-work and Tiffany lamps, but never came across a pair of strained glass window corners before.  This relatively new form of artistic expression has swept the art glass scene off their feet.  I found a fabulous custom made pair by Diana Barbor. 

Diana’s stained glass corner windows add instant character to any room.  I mounted mine onto the bay window in the kitchen.  My neighbor ordered a pair and she mounted them on both her living room front windows.  They look just wonderful (whether you are looking from the inside or the outside of her home).  Stained Glass Window Corners
