These manufacturers are small in numbe



For over 100 years Cheap Tiffany Jewelry and lighting have been an essential part of a luxurious home décor. These stained glass lamps are from the style and design of Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848 1933). Louis Tiffany used his creative talents to follow his love for art, instead of following in his father’s footsteps. His father, Charles Lewis Tiffany, was the founder of the silver and jewelry firm Tiffany & Co. In the 1880′s Louis turned his focus from his oil and watercolor works to interior design. The goal of Tiffany’s new passion was to elevate interior design to the same level as fine art.

Although the art of making stained glass windows started in the 1000′s, Louis was instrumental in making windows so he decided to use discarded pieces from his stained glass window production. Tiffany was enamored with the smooth flowing lines and shapes in the Art Nouveau era. He also traveled and received inspiration from glassware from North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. A chance meeting with Thomas Edison resulted in producing the first electric lamps for a movie theater. This gave Louis the idea of a freestanding Tiffany lamp. With this invention, Louis was able to bring beauty into the average home which was his main desire. To determine if you may have authentic or original, Tiffany lamps had either a simple number or word “FAVRILE” etched on them. Favorite means handcrafted in the French language. Still some others were stamped with “Tiffany Studios”. Originals also could bear the mark L.C.T. These original Tiffany lamps are longed for the world over. In 1998 an auction sold 2 lamps for almost 2 million each. Although these lamps were made over 120 years ago, many are still around today because they were made so well. Chances are when you visited your Grandmother’s home; you were awed by a Tiffany Lamp.

These manufacturers are small in number but highly acclaimed in terms of their craftsmanship when it comes to matching the iconic Tiffany lamp created by Louis Vuitton Fine Jewelry. Even though the designer and his company are long gone, the legacy of Tiffany is still vibrantly alive with the continuous production of the Tiffany lamp for new generations to enjoy and experience the elusive yet achievable touch of Tiffany.
