Tiffany lamp
open-in-new
<p>A Tiffany lamp is a type of <a href="/facts/Lamp_(fixture)/vjgU4z1f">lamp</a> made of glass and shade designed by <a href="/facts/Louis_Comfort_Tiffany/gpwrK3eo">Louis Comfort Tiffany</a> or artisans, and made (in originals) in his design studio. The glass in the lampshades is put together with the <a href="/facts/Came_glasswork/obb356NL">copper-foil technique</a> instead of leaded, the classic technique for <a href="/facts/Stained_glass/oUCut2Mc">stained-glass</a> windows. Tiffany lamps are considered part of the <a href="/facts/Art_Nouveau/e2Ahfp05">Art Nouveau</a> movement. Considerable numbers of designs were produced from 1893 onwards. </p><p>Due to Tiffany's dominant influence on the style, the term Tiffany lamp or Tiffany-style lamp has been often used to refer to stained-glass, leaded lamps, even those not made by <a href="/facts/Tiffany_Studios/Lj3SgjSt">Tiffany Studios</a>. </p>
