Tiffany Lamp
A Tiffany lamp is a type of lamp with a stained glass, lead light shade, which joins several individual glass pieces into beautiful picturesque designs. A Tiffany lamp is known as a synonym for luxury, elegance, it reveals a refined sense of taste, sophistication as well as beauty. The real value in a Tiffany lamp is in it's stained glass shade and it's original glass and construction. Besides stained glass, the other primary material typically used when constructing a tiffany lamp is brass or bronze in the base of the lamp.
Glass
The pieces of stained glass which comprise each tiffany lamp shade are soldered together with copper foil. One thing which differentiates a tiffany lamp is that instead of using the historic process of simply painting clear glass with color to produce the effects, Tiffany himself experimented with introducing pigmentation into the actual glass during the glass-making process. This small detail really does produce some spectacular effects, and part of what makes a tiffany lamp so unique. A tiffany lamp is different from any other type of lamp, each one is a work of art. A tiffany lamp lets off a bright yet soft light which is just about perfect for reading by.
Designs
One great thing about a tiffany lamp is that they come in so many designs, each person is bound to find one that suits them perfectly. In fact, perhaps the most important choice to make when buying a tiffany lamp is the decision of which tiffany lamp shades to consider. Each tiffany lamp is made with care, and depicts nature scenes, fruit, flowers, butterflies, and much much more. To make the different designs in each tiffany lamp shade, a pattern is created. Then, the different colors of glass are laid on the pattern and traced. Then, each piece of glass is carefully cut and ground into the correct shape for the pattern. Each tiffany lamp is usually very deep in color, with shadows, highlights, and many details which make them stand out from the rest!
Cost
Because a tiffany lamp is so well crafted, and each one is truly a work of art, each tiffany lamp is quite expensive. In fact, even a tiffany lamp reproduction goes for quite a bit of money as well. Many tiffany style lamps have been reproduced and redesigned in almost every flower, animal, color, shape and function to meet the demand of the tiffany lamp. While each Tiffany lamp is mass produced, all of the lamp shades still boast the unique lighting patterns and colors that the tiffany lamp is known for due to the nature of the process used to make tiffany lighting fixtures.
A tiffany lamp is a coveted part of home décor for many people. The beauty and originality of each lamp is only part of what makes them so special.
