Urban Art Déco Style Tiffany Wall Light
by
Tiffany Lights
Description
The design of this wall sconce, crafted using the Tiffany technique, evokes the architecture of the American Art Deco era and could have come from a salon or hotel lobby in 1930s New York.
With its gleaming glass panels, which shimmer somewhat like mother-of-pearl, the lamp serves as a stylish and appealing room accent whether it is on or off.
The lamp is handcrafted using the traditional Tiffany method.
Since colored glass absorbs more light than clear or opal glass, Tiffany lamps should be used in settings where creating a moody atmosphere is more important than high light output. This can be accommodated by using high-performance LED bulbs or additional light sources in the room.
Note: Due to the manufacturing process, an oily protective film may adhere to the lamp. This can be easily removed. Please refer to our care and cleaning instructions: Care Instructions for Tiffany Lamps.

About the manufacturer
Almost 150 years after American artist and entrepreneur Louis Comfort Tiffany founded his "Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company" in New York, the Tiffany glass technique invented by him enjoys unabated popularity. He made it possible to solder glass panes together by adding a border with a layer of copper and tin (back in the days lead was also used). Thus he arranged them into detailed ornaments, patterns and images. Next to church windows, lampshades proved to be an ideal application of this technology, even more because at the time the filament bulb was making its way into private households.
Our Tiffany lamps can of course not match the quality of the originals which are unaffordable today. But they are handmade in the same process and fully express the fascination of Tiffany glass art. In addition to Tiffany-typical naturalistic and playful designs, many of our Tiffany lights follow influences from the Art Déco of the early 20th century, especially from the expressionist Amsterdam School which is characterized by a simple, flat and very harmonious geometry.
