For the past few months, we have been working nonstop on commissioned lamps and have not had time to create new showroom pieces. Because of this, our selection of showroom lamps has recently dwindled down to just a couple of stained glass pieces. To enhance the selection of showroom examples, we have brought in a…
The 25″ Roman shade is a generously proportioned lamp with an unusual flaring “helmet” shape. This piece was created from mottled glass that starts with a rich amber at the top and moves into deep orange on the lower half of the shade. Accents of yellow and yellow/green are found in the decorative border rows….
This matched set of 14″ Geranium shades was commissioned by a West Coast client. Red flowers dot the upper half of the shade, while mottled green leaves play against a light fracture/streamer background. Amber/orange border rows tinged with green give the pieces definition.
The generously proportioned 28″ Wisteria makes an impressive floor lamp or chandelier fixture. For this shade we used a mix of blue, lavender and white blossoms intermingled with fresh green foliage. The mottled glass gives the flowers a sun dappled appearance, while the irregular lower border and lobed shape creates a naturalistic look. Shown on…

The 16″ Tulip shade reminds us that warm sunny days are coming. The flowers for this shade were created in a variety of red tones, some streaked…
Cold winter nights make us long for the lazy days of summer, and the 16″ Fish shade is a welcome reprieve from snow and cold outside. The 16″ Fish shade is one of the more unusual and rare Tiffany shade designs (fewer than five original examples are known to exist). Five Koi fish dance rhythmically…
Yesterday’s snow day gave us the opportunity to update our website. Along with swapping out many lamp photos, new shade and base designs that were introduced on our blog postings have been added to the Gallery section of our site.
Due to winter weather conditions, Century Studios will be closed today and will resume regular business hours tomorrow.
We first introduced the 6″ wide Chain Mail Lantern in 2012, and are pleased to add a new, larger 9″ Chain Mail Lantern to our ever expanding list of lamps and fixtures. This new lantern has a bolder look, while still remaining a light, airy hanging fixture. The original 6″ Chain Mail Lantern is shown…
