The Tiffany Tradition
A Tiffany lamp is a style of fixture commonly associated with the Art Nouveau movement. The term is sometimes used broadly to refer to stained glass but it gets its name from the original creator and design director, Louis Comfort Tiffany – the son of Tiffany & Co. founder, Charles Lewis Tiffany.
The first Tiffany lamp was produced around 1895. In line with Tiffany’s vision that nature should inspire design, each piece featured elements of nature or geometric shapes to create intricate patterns. Each lamp was handmade by Louis himself or by an artist in his studio.
The bases of the lamps were typically sculpted from bronze with shades created from hundreds of cut glass shapes fashioned together with copper foil. These works of art took many hours of skilled craftsmanship to complete and remain popular to this day, thanks to their complex beauty.

PRO TIP: The intricate details and delicate nature of Tiffany glass shades can make them seem intimidating to clean. When cleaning tiffany products made of stained or transparent glass, stay away from harsh chemicals like ammonia. Try a feather duster or a soft cloth to gently wipe the glass with an oil-based furniture polish or household cleaner.
