Thorvald Bindesbøll Table Lamps

Danish, 1846-1908

Over a century after his death, Thorvald Bindesbøll is remembered for his wonderfully artistic ceramic designs, smithed creations and imaginative lighting fixtures. The Danish architect, designer and artist brought a creative eye and meticulous hand to everything he made.

Born in Copenhagen, Bindesbøll’s early education was unconventional. His father, the famed architect Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll, taught him at home. Growing up around his father’s students and colleagues, he was challenged to match them in intellect and artistic acuity.

In 1876, Bindesbøll graduated with an architecture degree from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Instead of just focusing on architecture, Bindesboll developed a love of art, with a special emphasis on ceramics. 

He worked for a time at Frauens Levarefabrik and then for Johan Wallmann from 1883 to 1890. Throughout the remainder of the 19th century, Bindesbøll collaborated with craftspeople from diverse disciplines, including ceramicists, silversmiths and goldsmiths. 

Bindesbøll spent a great deal of time designing silver works. The success of these designs led to factories producing inferior copies. 

Bindesbøll died in 1908, leaving behind numerous design sketches and an eclectic body of work that continues to be prized by collectors today.

On 1stDibs, find an array of vintage Thorvald Bindesboll decorative objects, lighting, serveware and more.

Tiffany glass refers to the many and varied types of glass developed and produced from 1878 to 1933 at the Tiffany Studios in New York, by Louis Comfort Tiffany and a team of other designers, including Clara Driscoll, Agnes F. Northrop and Frederick Wilson. In 1865, Tiffany traveled to Europe, and in London he visited the Victoria and Albert Museum, whose extensive collection of Roman and Syrian glass made a deep impression on him. He admired the coloration of medieval glass and was convinced that the quality of contemporary glass could be improved upon. In his own words, the "Rich tones are due in part to the use of pot metal full of impurities, and in part to the uneven thickness of the glass, but still more because the glass maker of that day abstained from the use of paint". Tiffany was an interior designer, and in 1878 his interest turned toward the creation of stained glass, when he opened his own studio and glass foundry because he was unable to find the types of glass that he desired in interior decoration. His inventiveness both as a designer of windows and as a producer of the material with which to create them was to become renowned. Tiffany wanted the glass itself to transmit texture and rich colors and he developed a type of glass he called "Favrile". The glass was manufactured at the Tiffany factory...
