Tiffany Lamps

Tiffany Studios produced leaded glass lamps for barely three decades — from the early 1890s to the studio's closure in 1933 — yet in that time, Louis Comfort Tiffany and his designers created what many consider the most significant body of decorative glass in American art history. Working at the Corona, New York factory, teams of largely female craftswomen cut and assembled thousands of pieces of glass by hand for every shade, selecting from Tiffany's proprietary production — opalescent, granite-backed, iridescent, and chunk-jewel glass — for their optical effects as much as their color. No two lamps are identical. The Daniels Antiques collection presents a selection of lamps from the peak of the Studios' production, circa 1902–1910, each bearing the stamped signature Tiffany Studios, New York, and retaining its original patinated bronze base. Pieces range from early geometric and botanical designs to the large-scale floral compositions
