Tiffany Table Lamps

What type of effect will a Tiffany table lamp create? This is probably one of the most common questions asked when people visit our showroom. The answer is always that they will create one of the most amazing effects from any table lamp ever. Pure art!

Tiffany Style Table Lights

No other type of table lamp can create the effect that a leaded light shade can.  Every one of our Tiffany style table lamps are handmade from coloured glass sections, pieced together in different designs to form the lampshade.

When you switch one of our table lamps on, the coloured glass pieces glow at different levels, depending on the colour and opacity of the glass. This light is reflected through the room to create a magical, almost hypnotising illusion.

The glass can be either a translucent colour, where you are able to see through or an opaque coloured glass to give a sensual glow. The translucent glass pieces are usually rippled, so that when the lamp is switched on, the ripples catch the light at different angles, which makes the glass sparkle like a jewel.

Coloured glass has been used for centuries, for its quality and finesse. There is no doubt that the popularity of Tiffany lamps has remained high throughout the decades, due to the different colours, designs and effects that are created when they are lit.

Many people may be worried that the coloured glass will diffuse the light too much and not enough will pass through. Whilst the coloured glass may diffuse a small amount, it certainly does not stop the light from passing through.

Any Tiffany lamp will create a wonderful ambient glow that is not harsh on the eyes. Some modern halogen lamps can be harsh on the eyes and too dazzling, whereas a Tiffany table lamp will never dazzle.

Looking After Your Tiffany Table Lamp

They need minimal care to keep them looking at their best. A weekly dust over will keep the glass free of particles, which may impede the effect if allowed to build up. A wipe over with a damp cloth twice a year is all that is required and will keep it looking radiant and performing at its best.

A simple tip that will enhance the colours is to always use clear bulbs as opposed to pearl or opal lamps. A clear bulb will create that sparkle effect through the coloured translucent glass of the table lamp. The clear bulb should also be dusted once in a while to get the best out of them.

Never use an abrasive cleaner or any cleaner containing any solvent or chemical on a Tiffany glass shade.
