Information on Caring for Tiffany Lamps

As the final step in the manufacturing process, our Tiffany lamps are given a protective, glossy, oil-based finish. After shipping, the lamp may therefore feel slightly greasy when you unpack it.

Please do not use harsh cleaners to remove excess oil! The best way to do this—even if it sounds counterintuitive—is with a cloth and a little vegetable oil (such as olive or sunflower oil). This protects the metal parts and refreshes their appearance.

If the lamp accumulates dust or other dirt over time, it’s best to clean it with a damp cloth and a small amount of dish soap. After cleaning, you can apply a little vegetable oil again to restore the lamp’s subtle sheen.
