The radiant and beloved masterworks of leaded glass from the Gilded Age.
Louis C. Tiffany's intricate and brilliantly colored masterpieces have
captivated collectors for decades, and continue to inspire crafters who
re-create them in home workshops today. This collection showcases eighty
of the firm's most iconic lamps, including rare and one-of-a-kind
creations. These examples have all been newly photographed in sumptuous
detail to reveal features in the glass and metalwork that have never
been seen before in print. Intricate patterns dazzle with kaleidoscopic
fantasies: wisteria that twists and curls with grace, peonies that
explode with color, and dragonflies that dance with the light. Uniting a
reverence for nature and a fascination with the artistic potential of
glass, Louis C. Tiffany and his designers created a revolutionary design
aesthetic that brought the beauty of the natural world into the home.
This book explores Tiffany Studios' innovative adaptation of electric
light: sheathing the incandescent light bulb in a shimmering veil of
leaded glass. Beautifully designed and produced in an intimate format,
The Lamps of Tiffany Studios presents a jewel-box package that makes
the perfect gift for any art lover.
