The son of the world renowned founder of Tiffany & Co., Louis Comfort Tiffany, was a great American artist best remembered for his amazing work with stained glass. He designed beautiful stained glass windows, jewelry, and lamps. The first Tiffany lamp was produced in 1895 at Tiffany’s New York based glass factory. The lamps were covered with a stunning shade of stained glass pieces of bright vibrant colors in a mosaic style pattern.
The exquisite Tiffany lamps gained popularity in homes and businesses across the nation. Today, the lovely style of lighting is just as fashionable. Tiffany style lighting is now available in everything from table and floor lamps to graceful chandeliers. Modern lighting influenced by Tiffany has grown to include etched picturesque images within the glass and can be found in almost any style or color scheme.
Tiffany chandeliers can be purchased at a variety of specialty stores. The traditional eclectic colored shades can be found as well as shades with southwestern designs, Victorian romantic themes, or even nature motifs. The style of a Tiffany chandelier can be as varied as the design of the shade. Chandeliers with a Tiffany flair are abundant in many desirable shapes, sizes, and trends, including Mission, tiered, and traditional.
Tiffany chandeliers and lamps have remained a popular decorative part of homes for over a century now. The materials used and designs and styles available are much more diverse today, but Tiffany chandeliers are still as gorgeous as the very first lamps produced by Tiffany.
