Tiffany lamp

Tiffany Lamp:
The focus of the Tiffany style lamp is in the shade made of hand-rolled stained glass. A Tiffany shade will exhibit elegant colors when the lamp is lit. Generally some lines, seeds, or bubbles may be visible in the glass - however, they are not defects but simply the nature and beauty of real stained glass.

No two Tiffany lamps are the same because all hand rolled art glass is characterized with subtle shadings and each one is unique.

The cost of Tiffany lamps may vary significantly depending on the type of glass used and the level of detail a Tiffany shade has. Generally, the more panels and colors a Tiffany lamp has, the more costly it would be.

Tiffany lamps today come in mostly two styles: Victorian and Mission.

- Mission style, also known as "Frank Lloyd Wright", "Arts and Crafts", or "Craftsman", is characterized by straight lines forming squares and rectangles. Mission style Tiffany lamps come with straight-edged stained-glass shades and bases. Mission style bases are usually in oak or metal casting. These are one of the most popular styles today.

- Victorian is usually perceived as a style with an abundance of curves, laces and embellishments. First popularized in the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, Victorian style lamps and lighting fixtures remain popular today, even in modern homes.
