How is a Tiffany lamp made?

⚡ The making a tiffany lamp requires several hours of assembly, which is why production has been relocated to emerging countries, particularly China. A Tiffany lamp made in Europe should sell for several thousand euros.

💡 Why is manufacturing being outsourced?

To offer you Tiffany lighting at reasonable prices, we have chosen to work with a manufacturer that respects environmental standards and employee rights:

  • ✔️ Compliance with CE and Rohs standards (lead and mercury free)
  • ✔️ Manufactured according to the methods of Louis Comfort Tiffany
  • ✔️ Affordable prices thanks to outsourcing

🔨 Production of Tiffany lamps

By 1902, Louis Comfort Tiffany was already offering over 300 lamp models. Today, our partner in China uses the same manufacturing methods to produce these lights in large quantities. Here are some essential steps:

  • ✍️ Manual production of stained glass windows
  • ⚙️ Assembly of artisanal glasses
  • ⏳ Rigorous monitoring and finishing for perfect quality

Each Tiffany lamp consists of several hundred pieces of stained glass, assembled manually with copper tape, then soldered with tin to create a unique artistic effect.
