All the way back to their inception Tiffany Lights have been a symbol of style and originality, pushing the boundaries of fine decorative furniture to create lasting and trendsetting products. Created sometime around 1895, the distinct visual aesthetics of the Tiffany light's ornate leaded glass composition has become one of the most well known landmarks in lighting. Thought to have originally been designed by company founder Louis C Tiffany, recent evidence has proven that the original and perhaps more classic leaded glass designs were mastered by Clara Driscoll, the director of the Tiffany Studios' Women's Glass Cutting Department. Tiffany shaded lamps soon became a very popular fashion item of the times. Their designs predominantly were influenced by natural shape, form and structures such as flowers all intended to lend a natural accentuation to the decor of the period. This nuance gave the Tiffany lighting collection a place among a popular trend of the time known as Art Nouveau (in English: New Art). This was a revolutionary new philosophy and style of furniture design that came into prominence in the early twentieth century.
Tiffany's fine handmade shades began to grow in their range and variation over the years as Louis C Tiffany's fascination with glass became stronger, patenting a number of glass design techniques and putting his years as an interior decorator to profitable use, in order to produce quality pieces of practical art for the home.
Today, Tiffany lights are as popular as ever and still available in a wide range of fittings and designs, with the original, genuine antique Tiffany Lamps fetching large sums of money at collectors' auctions.
