Tiffany Studios Lighting
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 New York Five-light "Prism" Chandelier
By Tiffany Studios
Located in New York, NY
This exquisite Tiffany Studios “Prism” chandelier, features five shades comprised of iridescent gold glass "Prisms" suspended from intricately sculpted bronze heat cap. Each prism shimmers with great transparency, mesmerizing with its iridescence and chains with alternating chain links and bronze spheres highlighting each chain. Tiffany wrote extensively on the prismatic color theory in the Scientific American— his conceptual understanding derived from Isaac Newton’s book “Optics.” Newton famously proved that white light consisted of a miscellany of colors using his prism experiment. Late nineteenth-century publications suggested that amateur scientists use chandelier prisms to try Newton’s experiment at home. As a man of the modern age, Tiffany believed that science and art must cofunction for the greatest effect.

Elegantly framed by fluted, undulating columns and an elegantly dipped base, beautifully held by two dramatically sweeping arms, and charmingly topped with a golden, iridescent glass globe, the star of this dynamic composition is undeniably the "Damascene" shade that sits at the center, with a particularly strong array of ombré color and hues of bright green and rich orange, dynamically interspersed with waves and ripples of iridescent gold.

Pair of Tiffany Studios New York "Globe" Glass and Bronze Chandeliers
By Tiffany Studios, Louis Comfort Tiffany
Located in New York, NY
This enchanting pair of Tiffany Studios New York "hanging globe" chandeliers are composed of two reticulated glass shades. Tiffany’s idea of blowing glass through openwork bronze had evolved in the 1890s with a series of Byzantine revival fuel lamps. The technique was popularized by 19th-century Muranese Glassmakers Salvati as a derivation of the Ancient Roman cage cup (vasa diatreta). In the 4th century, Roman glassmakers encased blown glass vessels in a delicate cage of glass. In Tiffany’s version, glass is blown through an ogival pattern cage. Originating in 11th-century Byzantine textiles, the ogival pattern became established in Italy, Ottoman Turkey, North Africa, and as far west as the Balkans.

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...

Rare Linenfold Double Student Table Lamp Tiffany Studio
By Tiffany Studios
Located in Atlanta, GA
A Linenfold Favrile glass double student lamp from Tiffany Studio (1878-1933) circa 1910-20s. This rare model features two matching amber colored glass shades supported by rubbed bronze lamp frame and base. The shade each feature twelve linenfold glass panels bordered by smaller and thicker upper and lower glass trim panels. There is a loop on top of the frame which was used to move the lamp easily. The arm is free to swing, and the height can also be adjusted. Both shades are marked "Tiffany Studios / New York". The base is marked "Tiffany Studios / New York / 381". Sockets and wires all appear original and function well.
From 1913 to 1914, the independent designer Henry O. Schmidt (1860–1943) patented a new type of mold-cast glass lampshade panels for Tiffany Studios to imitate delicately pleated silk. Under the directorship of Leslie Hayden Nash, Tiffany Studios offered an expanded range of lampshades in this new Favrile Fabrique style including the double student lamp model.

Questions About Tiffany Studios Lighting
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 14, 2024No, Tiffany Studios no longer makes lamps. On the secondhand market, antique Tiffany Studios table lamps and other decorative glass objects are the most recognizable and prized of the manufactory’s works.
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 studio’s offerings include stained-glass floor lamps, chandeliers and enameled metal vases.
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 Comfort Tiffany was undoubtedly the most influential and accomplished American decorative artist in the decades that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And while the lion’s share of credit for Tiffany Studios table lamps and other fixtures has gone to Louis, 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.
Find antique Tiffany Studios lamps on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024To identify a Tiffany table lamp, first take a close look at the base. Some pieces will bear a stamp or label that says, "Tiffany Studios," and newer lamps may also feature a serial number. By comparing the number and markings to information and images shared by trusted online resources, you can begin the identification process. If your lamp isn't marked, the base construction can provide more clues about the maker. Tiffany lamps usually feature bronze bases that feel weighty. Older models typically have a gray metal ring on their bottoms as well. In addition to examining the base, try turning the lamp on for a while and then touching the stained glass shade. Tiffany lamps tend to stay cool due to the thickness of the glass, so if yours feels hot, it may be the work of a different manufacturer. When in doubt, use the identification services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a collection of Tiffany lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell if Tiffany glass is Favrile, first check the piece for markings. Many pieces will have the word "Favrile" etched into an inconspicuous area, such as on the base. The iridescent quality of the glass can also be a good indicator of whether or not it is Favrile. However, it can be difficult to identify without experience and training. As a result, you may wish to consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer if you don't locate a Favrile marking on your piece. Shop a collection of Tiffany glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024To tell if a Tiffany lamp is valuable, first examine its features carefully.

Another way to learn the value of your lamp is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate it. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Tiffany lamps.
