Tiffany lamps have been providing
luxurious home décor since the 1800s. Often they are used in libraries, dens,
billiard rooms, and parlors around the home. Before modern assembly processes
Tiffany lamps were individually handcrafted by artisans with unique glass
patterns. The Tiffany lamp was originally designed by Clara Driscoll in 1895.
However it was Louis Comfort Tiffany who popularized them.

With his knowledge in interior
design, metallurgy, jewelry and stained glass he designed many different
categories of Tiffany lamps, including flowered cone and globe lamps, and
irregular upper and lower border lamps. Much of his designs simulated flowers,
trees, insects and other objects found in nature.
Much of Tiffany’s lamp work focused on using discarded glass pieces from his
stained glass work to develop decorative glass lamp shades. Tiffany went to
great lengths to design very intricate and complex glass lamp shades by
carefully fitting together hundreds of small glass pieces. The small glass
pieces were held together with very malleable copper foil that is both light
weight and strong. He also often used bronze sculpture bases for supporting the
glass Tiffany lamp shade. However he also used other types of bases and designed
ceiling lamps as well.

Though the Tiffany lamp style has been around for well over a hundred years
it is still very popular in interior home designs. They are used in many
rooms within the home. Tiffany lamps are commonly used for spot lighting on
desks and tables, however Tiffany ceiling light fixtures are also available
for providing source lighting for illuminating an entire room. There is even
Tiffany floor lamps that take up very little floor space and that are great
for reading lights and for illuminating an entire room.

Tiffany lamps are also available in
sconces and accent light pieces.
So if you are looking to add both lighting and home décor to your home take a
look at Tiffany lamps and lighting products. They are timeless and offer beauty
that is unmatched by many of today’s common light fixtures.
