What Makes it a Tiffany lamp?

Author: LampLampLamp

Tiffany style lampsYou’ve heard about “Tiffany lamps” for many years, but what exactly makes these lamps so special?

At the most basic level, a Tiffany lamp contains stain glass panels rather than a fabric shade. They are, of course, marked by the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.

Tiffany began making and distributing these lamps in 1895. The production of Tiffany lamps is currently viewed as a major contribution to the Art Nouveau movement.

And what is “Art Nouveau?” This was an artistic movement in response to the more rigid academic movement that preceded it. Nouveau art is marked by flowing lines, dramatic curves, and floral patterns.

And this is exactly what distinguishes a Tiffany lamp. They are often adorned with stain glass panels showing various flowers such as roses, wisteria, lotus, and others. The dragonfly Tiffany style lamps are also very common.

Today, authentic Tiffany lamps are almost impossible to find. They are mostly housed in museums, and the ones for public sale have fetched upwards of $8 million.

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 the heck is a Tiffany lamp anyway?

Author: LampLampLamp

Tiffany Table LampsWhen I was growing up and I heard the term “Tiffany Lamp” I always thought it mean the lamp came from the super-expensive store Tiffany’s.  Boy was I wrong.  I didn’t find out until recently that it was named after the guy who made the lamp style famours, Loous Tiffany.

Louis Comfort Tiffany (February 18, 1848 – January 17, 1933) was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts and is best known for his work in stained glass and is the American artist most associated with the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements. Tiffany was affiliated with a prestigious collaborative of designers known as the Associated Artists which included Lockwood de Forest, Candace Wheeler, and Samuel Colman. Tiffany designed stained glass windows and lamps, glass mosaics, blown glass, ceramics, jewelry, enamels and metalwork.
