Tiffany Floor Lamps

The Magic of Tiffany Floor Lamp Designs

The Tiffany floor lamp is a classic of American style and craftsmanship, offering a beautiful glow for just about any style of home.

How are Tiffany floor lamp shades made?

Each Tiffany style shade is made up of dozens, even hundreds, of individual glass pieces that are hand-cut and arranged to create the shade pattern. Each glass is wrapped around the edges with copper foil, which allows them to be soldered together to craft the shade shape. It is a labor-intensive process, but one that ends up creating designs of unmatched color and vibrancy.

What are popular Tiffany floor lamp patterns?

There are a number of classic cut-glass patterns that have been inspired by Mission and Craftsman style designs. These include geometric designs drawn from nature, such as vines and wheat grass patterns and tree branch motifs. Also popular are colorful dragonflies and garden floral scenes.

Though first developed in the late 19th century by designer Louis Comfort Tiffany, the style of these floor lamps are still cherished today for the mesmerizing effect of their colorful shades. We offer a wide selection, from authentic styles to a number of updated takes on the classic.
