Are you the type of person who is inspired by the aura of natural light? If you answered "yes", then you share the same passion as Louis Comfort Tiffany. Tiffany was an American artist during the Art Nouveau period best known for his stained glass works such as the lampshade seen here. His distinct style emphasized organic forms and geometric designs, which often depicted beautiful, outdoor landscape scenes. Tiffany was fascinated by bright colors and the natural light of the outdoors; therefore, his goal was to create stained glass lampshades that would bring the beauty of the outdoors into peoples’ homes year-round.
Each lamp was carefully handcrafted using the copper foil method, which allowed the individual pieces of stained glass to adhere together creating a delicate masterpiece. While this process took patience and time, it is the reason why no two Tiffany lamps are alike. Each lampshade tells its own story and has its own distinct style; a feature that makes it truly a one of a kind collector's item.
