Tiffany lamps are lights which have lampshades consisting of stained glass. They get their name from Tiffany glass, which refers to the coloured glass manufactured at Tiffany Studios in the early part of the 20th century. The studios in turn are named after American artist and designer Louis Comfort Tiffany. Tiffany lamps were first created in the latter part of the last decade of the 19th century and became popular in this country in the Edwardian era. They formed a famous part of the Art Nouveau movement, which had a global impact between 1890 and 1910 and included all sorts of experimental decorative art, ornaments and fittings.
Typical Tiffany lamps consist of panes of stained glass fitted together with lead or some other sort of soldering material. Crafted by artisan glassmakers and designers, they contain bright colours and eye catching motifs so make very pretty adornments to most bedside tables. You can use Tiffany lamps to give any room a homely retro feel. Individual pieces range from understated light single-colour schemes to ornate designs.
