12″ Dogwood

Flowering dogwood was one of Tiffany Studios’ favorite subjects for lamps and they created dogwood shades in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The 12″ Dogwood is a compact shade covered in blooms. We chose various shades of pinks for the flowers and a delicate fracture/streamer glass for the sky to keep the shade…

Lamp of the Week: 20″ Poppy

The 20″ Poppy is one of Tiffany Studios’ most popular lamp patterns. Ascending from a horizontal band of leaves, the flowers and buds rise up on slender stems represented by the vertical lead lines to fill the upper two thirds of the shade.

The 14″ Peony is a compact shade with a large personality. Covered in large flowers and lush foliage, this pattern cries out for bold colors and textured glasses.

Spider Lamp

Spider Lamp

The 15″ Spider is one of our most popular small lamps. Tiffany Studios originally labeled this shade Plain with Heavy Ribs for Base 337 (on their shade price lists “plain” is Tiffany-speak for geometric, base 337 is the Mushroom) but the inspiration for this design is obviously a long legged spider sitting atop its web…

16″ Peacock Feather

16″ Peacock Feather

We recently completed a 16″ Peacock Feather lamp for a client in New Jersey. The shade is shown on the distinctive Bell Pepper base. This boldly conceived Tiffany shade design combines a naturalistic peacock feather pattern with the repetitive symmetry of a geometric shade. The dome shaped shade has a flat surface, but the pattern…

Lamp of the Week: 22″ Turtleback

Lamp of the Week: 22″ Turtleback

This 22″ Turtleback Turban has a deep, brooding personality. The heavily mottled, richly colored red & green glass of the upper and lower geometric portions of the shade are the perfect backdrop for the band of black cherry colored turtlebacks. This distinctive shade is shown on the popular Perforated base (26″ tall, telescopes taller). The…
