Home Decorating With Tiffany Table Lamps Lighting

By Ryan Allen

They first thing that comes to mind when you are thinking about Tiffany lighting is bright and colorful glass, craftsman designs, and floral and insect motifs. The first Tiffany lamps and lighting where first made by a craftsman named Louis Tiffany. Louis took advantage of the times that involved when electricity was evolving in its infantry and took the knowledge from his father that was a great jewelry artisan and started creating the first beautiful Tiffany table lamps. It is quite remarkable how similar that Tiffany lighting and lamps are very similar to jewelry with their intricate and beautiful designs.

He created the stained glass in a whole spectrum of beautiful and vibrant colors. This type of glass was great for creating subtle light and adding beauty. With this new innovative design Louis began creating the first designs of Tiffany lighting. They typically incorporated a lot of craftsman style qualities such as wrought iron and metal and combined them with the beautiful pieces of glass.

He also experimented with other forms of glass and created some techniques using blown glass. He utilized a team of skilled craftsmen and glassblowers to help him make unique lamps that were treasured by people. These lamps were very expensive and a luxury item and only the wealthy and rich people could afford them in America.

Tiffany came up with a technique that was later used in all his pieces called Favrile. He later patented this technique so no one could try to recreate his designs.

Louis came up with methods that reheated glass and sprayed vaporized solution of salts of tin or iron. These solutions were absorbed into the molten glass and created layers of beautiful colors when the glass was cooled down. With these glass sheets having different colors Tiffany designed lamps in different styles and shapes. Many of his techniques are still used today and have set the standard in many glass making techniques.

The wide variety of different colors that could be made by this technique was amazing. By using different types of metal in the solutions and spraying it into the molten glass. The color was solid through the glass. Instead of a top coat finish that could wear off or discolor over time. Adding copper to the spray solution resulted in greenish blue to a rich ruby red and Cobalt to the spray solution created beautiful shades of blue Several other colors where created using a wide variety of other metals. By combining different types of metals and experimenting with firing heat and times. Tiffany was able to create a wide variety of colors and designs for his master pieces.

When this style of lamp was made by Louis. He focused on the design themes of the times with include a wide variety of natural features. Such as dragon flies and nature related designs. Many of these designs have been reproduced to look like the old Tiffany but have been made more affordable by the new manufacturing process. The dream that Tiffany had for his beautiful pieces of artwork can now be afford by almost all walks of life.
