Tiffany Studios
The hand-crafted kerosene and early electric lighting fixtures created at Tiffany Studios now rank among the most coveted decorative objects in the world. Tiffany designs of any kind are emblematic of taste and craftsmanship, and Tiffany glass refers to far more than stained-glass windows and decorative glass objects. The iconic multimedia manufactory’s offerings include stained-glass floor lamps, chandeliers and enameled metal vases. The most recognizable and prized of its works are antique Tiffany Studios table lamps.
The name Tiffany generally prompts thoughts of two things: splendid gifts in robin’s-egg blue boxes and exquisite stained glass. In 1837, Charles Lewis Tiffany co-founded the former — Tiffany & Co., one of America’s most prominent purveyors of luxury goods — while his son, Louis Comfort Tiffany, is responsible for exemplars of the latter.
Louis was undoubtedly the most influential and accomplished American decorative artist in the decades that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rather than join the family business, he studied painting with several teachers, notably the scenic painter Samuel Colman, while spending long periods touring Europe and North Africa. Though he painted his entire career, visits to continental churches sparked a passionate interest in stained glass. Tiffany began experimenting with the material and in 1875 opened a glass factory-cum-laboratory in Corona, Queens — the core of what eventually became Tiffany Studios.
In his glass designs, Tiffany embraced the emerging Art Nouveau movement and its sinuous, naturalistic forms and motifs. By 1902, along with glass, Tiffany was designing stained-glass lamps and chandeliers as well as enameled metal vases, boxes and bowls, and items such as desk sets and candlesticks. Today such pieces epitomize the rich aesthetics of their era.
The lion’s share of credit for Tiffany Studios table lamps and other fixtures has gone to Louis. However, it was actually Clara Driscoll (1861–1944), an Ohio native and head of the Women’s Glass Cutting Department for 17 years, who was the genius behind the Tiffany lamps that are most avidly sought by today’s collectors. A permanent gallery of Tiffany lamps at the New-York Historical Society celebrates the anonymous women behind the desirable fixtures.

- Tiffany Studios Wave Glass Floor LampBy Tiffany StudiosLocated in New Orleans, LAThis exceptional floor lamp by Tiffany Studios features an iconic dome shade crafted from the firm's legendary Favrile glass, complemented by its original curved harp bronze base that accentuates the shade's overall form. Supported by three elegantly curved legs ending in spade feet, this striking lamp stands gracefully. Displaying the beautiful Wave pattern, the blown glass shade shines with the iridescent luster of a green and gold gradient. The lamp exhibits a vivid green hue when turned off, and comes alive with brilliant yellows and pinks when lit. Complete with both a Favrile glass shade and a base of Tiffany’s invention, this floor lamp is one of the rare examples of a complete Tiffany design still intact today. Standing floor lamps such as this one are particularly rare and highly desirable as a stunning marriage of form and function. Inspired by the fluidity and translucence of ancient Roman and Middle Eastern glass, Louis C. Tiffany produced blown glass, named "Favrile," between 1891 and 1928. The glass became renowned for its colorful opalescent and iridescent finishes. In sharp contrast to more "industrial art" and commercially produced pieces, the Favrile collection featured hand-crafted objects that were both beautiful and functional. This Wave floor lamp...Category
