Materials and manufacture of vintage Tiffany lamps?

Born in New York into a family of great luxury jewellers, Tiffany had the opportunity to travel from an early age. His first moment of inspiration was a visit to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in 1865, where he discovered bright colours obtained through the glassworks of antiquity.

Twenty years later, he opened Tiffany Studios, a glass workshop that quickly became known through a series of high-profile works, notably for the Lyceum Theater in New York and the White House in Washington.

Thanks to his early exposure to decorative arts from around the world, his creations have been inspired by global sources such as the design of Persian glass, the stained glass windows of the Gothic movement and other elements of Asian and European crafts.

Tiffany lamp materials

Tiffany lamps contained coiled bronze threads and blown glass (a term Tiffany himself coined) that "reflected the cultural fascination with exoticism. From the late 1890s to the 1920s, Tiffany Studios produced mosaic glass lampshades (some of which are classified as slag glass), which had geometric and floral motifs.

  • The geometric patterns evoked the vast "Arts and Crafts" movement that defined the turn of the 20th century.
  • Nature-inspired motifs were aligned with the Art Nouveau movement, a style that punctuated the art, architecture, advertising and design of the turn of the century.

Handmade by Tiffany and Co in the style of Louis Comfort Tiffany, the iconic stained glass windows, lampshades, lamps and window panels have been created by welding small pieces of coloured glass to produce individual and enchanting objects.

The old stained-glass windows were all made of glass. The glasses after being surrounded by a copper ribbon were soldered to the tin, the design and the color of the assembled pieces thus formed the design on the lampshade. The copies are also all in glass, but if you have any doubts you can easily tell if the shade of your Tiffany lamp is glass or plastic by heating it with a flame, if the material used is plastic, it will melt, whereas if it is glass, nothing will happen.

A Tiffany stained glass blind

Tiffany has hired some of the best craftsmen in the United States to realize its aesthetic vision in leaded blinds. The manufacturing process was laborious. Any section of glass, no matter how small, was carefully selected from the thousands of sheets made available to the men and women who worked in the cutting services. The most aesthetic shades have a perfect harmony of the variety of colors and present quite subtle tones, even in complex patterns.

Collectors now agree that the artists and designers who developed Tiffany's iconic lampshades have created a design work in lighting that is second to none in the modern era.

The value of the original Tiffany lamps

The real Tiffany lamps were manufactured between 1890 and 1930 and their value can range from 4,000 to more than one million euros. The most expensive Tiffany lamps sell for more than one million euros.

The highest price to date for a Tiffany lamp was reached at Christie's auction in the United States in 1997 at $2.8 million.

Louis Comfort Tiffany was not only an artist, he was also a wise businessman and a visionary, he took advantage of new technologies and quickly understood the usefulness of the light bulb, he was convinced of it after meeting Thomas Edison in 1884.

Replicas of authentic Tiffany lamps

A hundred years after their creation, replicas of Tiffany lamps are mass produced in countries such as China, India and Vietnam. Modern production methods use industrial water-jet machines to cut pieces of glass into large stained glass sheets. The shards are then hand-made by workers trained in the design of factory decorations. But the assembly of the stained glass cannot be done by machines, so the glasses are assembled by hand as in the past according to the technique of Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Because the production of reproductions is of high quality, it becomes increasingly difficult to tell the difference between a "real" Tiffany lamp and the much more recent "false" lamps, which can give fans of authentic Tiffany lamps a real headache.---

  • If that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
