Tiffany Stained Glass Lamps - Natural Themes Are Timeless

 
Author: Nadia Ankrah
 

The beauty of nature overcomes fashion and time so if youre looking for a timeless piece, you cant go wrong with a natural theme based Tiffany lamp!

Case in point: Have you ever heard of Louis Comfort Tiffany? Hes the son of the founder of the famous and prestigious department store Tiffany & Co. Well, he loved everything beautiful, from fine jewelry to works of art, from homes to beautiful gardens. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth -- so no wonder he loved everything beautiful. Because he could afford anything he wanted! Anyway, back in the good old days of 1900, or so, Louis Tiffany setup his own company called Tiffany Studios.

Tiffany studios produced amazing Tiffany stained glass lamps, from natural themes such as floral and insect... no. Not the disgusting kind such as a black beetles apologies to anyone whos got a fetish for black beetles - but beautiful insects such as dragonfiles, butterflies those type of things.

Although stained glass lamps of a natural theme wasn't the only type of theme Tiffany produced -- as he created magnificent geometric style stained glass lamps as well -- it was the natural themed stained glass lamps that really stood out from the crowd.

Anyway, times were not always rosy for Louis. Things were so bad that he had to stop production of certain Tiffany lamps and dramatically slash the prices of his other stained glass lamps he had in stock... because times were changing... interior decor of American homes were changing, and Tiffany lamps didn't seem to have a place in these changing times. So he dropped the price of his lamps to shift the remain lamps he had in stock.

But that wasn't the end of Tiffany lamps. Not by a long shot. There was always a whisper of a sale here and there, of a natural themed lamp; such as the wisteria lamp, or the dragonfly lamp the dragonfly lamp is one of Louis's most popular lamps I believe. And after 20 years of very slow sales in lamps (were now in the year 1920... or there about) a long lost log book indicated the sales of Tiffany lamps were on the rise. Like a phoenix from the ashes the sales of some of Tiffany's natural themed lamps were on the increase. Even though the styles of lamps during this time had changed, and people were not buying Tiffany lamps in great numbers, every now and then a wisteria lamp... a cobweb lamp... or a dragonfly lamp would be sold. Or even created on demand -- as one sales lodge had a comment on it saying rush, meaning the lamp was custom made.

Even as the styles of American people changed over time, people still bought Tiffanys natural themed lamps... they managed to claw there way through the changing times and burst into the 21st century with such popularity and grandeur, that a Tiffany Cobweb reproduction lamp can go for more than a thousand dollars! And now Tiffany reproduction lamps are in a niche of there own, and the popularity of these lamps just keep on increasing.
