History:
Tiffany lamps are lamps originally created by a famous, prestigious American artist called Louis Comfort Tiffany (son of the founder of the famous jewelry store Tiffany Co
Louis loved beautiful things, especially stained glass windows, so he set himself a goal to allow American homeowners to share in the beauty of stained glass by making stained glass lamps.
But he wasn't content in sacrificing the colors and intricate detail of his lamp designs by using the old method of stained glass (painting clear glass). So he came up with an innovative way of creating stained glass lamps...copper-foil technique. This stained glass technique put colors and hues in glass that hadn t been seen until Louis came along.
The lamps Louis Tiffany produced (Tiffany lamps) were generally unique one-of-a-kind stained-glass lamp shades with ornate bronze bases.
This method allowed him to produce beautiful stained glass mosaics such as the dragonfly and the wisteria lamps.
