Tiffany Style Lamps

Tiffany lamps, named after its inventor Louis Comfort Tiffany, were originally part of the Art Nouveu movement. They are now popular for their glass lamp shades, that are available in various designs, shapes and colors, having an elegance of their own.

The hanging designs in different sizes and colors are the best way to light a room elegantly.

One of the most popular designs is the Wisteria Design because of its close resemblance to Wisteria tree. The fixture of the lamp looks like the trunk while the shade resembles blossoming limbs.

These days real Tiffany lamps are scarce and costly, but unique. Antique dealers are a great source for these valuable lamps. The real lamps are stamped on the bottom with L. C. T., or a Favrile stamp.

On the other hand, there are plenty of reproductions calling their products Tiffany, however the name has merely become a generic term used for a lamp with a stained glass shade.
