Tiffany Lamps - What you Need to Know Before You Buy One

Buying tiffany lamps has never been easier. But first, you must know what you are looking for and the terms that are used to describe tiffany lamps, tiffany style lamps , and tiffany reproduction lamps . First of all, the term tiffany lamps has become rather generic over the years. Similar to how the word Kleenex is used. Kleenex is actually a brand name, however people use it in place of the word facial tissue. Much is the same with Tiffany Lamps. At one time, back in the early 20 th century when one heard of tiffany lamps it automatically brought to mind the lamps that were being made by Louis Comfort Tiffany , the master craftsman of the art noveau movement. Nowadays, a Tiffany Lamp can mean the Tiffany originals, the Tiffany Style Lamps, or the Tiffany Reproduction Lamps.

First, Tiffany Reproductions Lamps, are exactly that, reproductions of the original lamps by Louis Comfort Tiffany . These reproduction Tiffany lamps , such as the well known Tiffany wisteria lamps or the Tiffany Cob Web lamps are exact replicas of the lamps produced by the master craftsman himself. These lamps are produced by using the lost wax method of metal casting that allows the reproduction tiffany lamps to be replicated to the minutest detail. These lamps are museum quality and provide an nice "Touch of Tiffany" without breaking your wallet. Most reproduction tiffany lamps by the industry's leading manufacturers, Dale Tiffany and Meyda Tiffany , will generally run you about $500.00 to $2000.00.

For those of you who want to spend less money, a Tiffany style lamp, such as the popular  Peony Jeweled Table Lamp will be a better choice. Tiffany style lamps, also known as a stained glass lamp , such as the Courtney Tiffany Table Lamp by Dale Tiffany   is a table lamp made with  handmade artglass (stained glass), and the copper foil method of soldering which was perfected by L.C. Tiffany. Tiffany style lamps are often made using similar patterns and themes of the original tiffany lamps, such at the popular Wisteria Table Lamp . Colors and designs have been updated to better coordinate with the decorating styles that are popular today. These tiffany style table lamps will generally run in the $300.00 range depending on the size and complexity of the pattern. Tiffany style lighting has become all the rage these days as decorating styles have become less and less imaginative.

Exquisite stained glass floor lamps coupled with a pair of coordinating Tiffany Table Lamps will add color and style to any room. For those of you who want indirect light, perhaps a Tiffany torchiere floor lamp such as the Crocus Torchiere Floor Lamp will be your better choice. With a torchiere floor lamp light shines up and is deflected off your ceiling for a more ambient look. For more direct light, you may want to consider traditional tiffany style floor lamps with the shade facing down as seen in the New Floral Tiffany Floor Lamp. Downbridge Tiffany floor lamps like the Daffodil Bridge Floor Lamp allow you to adjust the direction of the lamp shade and are perfect for specific tasks such as sewing or reading. Many of the tiffany floor lamps have matching tiffany table lamps to complete the look.
