Tiffany lamps and lighting have been an essential part of a luxurious home décor for over 100 years. These stained glass lamps are from the style and design of Louis Comfort Tiffany. Louis Tiffany used his creative talents to follow his love for art, rather than following in his father’s footsteps. His father, Charles Lewis Tiffany, was the founder of the silver and jewelry firm Tiffany & Co. In the 1880’s Louis turned his focus from his oil and watercolor works to interior design. The goal of Tiffany’s new passion was to elevate interior design to the same level as fine art.
During this period, Tiffany began using the discarded glass pieces from his stained glass panels to create the decorative lamps synonymous with his name. Tiffany lampshades were created by carefully fitting hand cut glass pieces into copper foil enclosures. Copper foil is extremely light and strong which enabled Tiffany to design and create large and complex shades for his lamps. Commonly
Tiffany style lamps can be used in any room within your home. Tiffany ceiling lights are a great lighting source for illuminating an entire room. Smaller table lamps are an excellent source for directing light to a specific area. Should space be an issue Tiffany floor lamps can provide a lot of light while taking up minimal floor space. Tiffany lamps can also be found for desks, walls sconces, and accent lighting as well as table lighting.
Adding the elegance and beauty of a Tiffany lamp to your home decore will easily bring a warm and inviting atmosphere to your room and home.
