TIFFANY STAINED GLASS MISSION STYLE UP LIGHT FLOOR LAMP

Made with the finest hand-rolled glass. Featuring a distinctive ornate walnut stained body with exquisite embossed detail in dark oak tints and strong, architectural lines, this mission style floor lamp is highlighted with an intricate geometric, warm earth-tone patterned tiffany-style shade abounding in linear arrays of luminous individually speckled amber coloured cabochon jewels against glowing sun kissed golden-yellow panels bordered by glistening scalloped granite style glass in mahogany accents. Constructed with artistic precision, design and craftsmanship.

"Tiffany" is a generic name given to any stained glass leadlight lamp which has been hand constructed or assembled using the time honoured method first pioneered by Louis Comfort Tiffany, known as the Tiffany method. According to tradition, the individual pieces of glass are cut out from large sheets of stained glass according to desired patterns. The edges are then ground smooth, copper foiled, soldered to adjoining pieces (on a mould) both outside and inside with lead, washed and patinaed. A single Tiffany shade can comprise of hundreds or even up to thousands of individual pieces of stained glass which are joined to form picturesque designs.

 

Due to the handcrafted nature of leadlighting and depending on the complexity of the shade, countless hours and intensive manual labour are required in the manufacture of one single Tiffany shade alone. The craftsmen of this lamp have extensive leadlighting experience and are experts in the field.
