Two Recent Projects

We recently completed two commission projects for out of town clients.

The first was a 12" Acorn shade which was made for an East Coast client. We are showing the shade on a wall sconce in our showroom, but the shade was created to be used on an original Tiffany Studios harp floor lamp in the client's collection.
The next project went to the West Coast. This Trumpet Vine with Cat window was commissioned by a California client. The completed window was framed in wood and will provide a colorful screen in a seating area.


Blooming vines playfully entwine the trellis while the cat in the lower left hand corner is at full attention, captivated by the hovering dragonfly (see detail at the top of the post).

Grooved Base


This week, we introduce the Grooved Base to our list of reproduction Tiffany Studios lamp bases. Cast in bronze using molds taken off an original example, this tall slender base is 26" tall and  works with most 18" or 20" shades. The base can also be used for 16" shades to create a lamp with a unique profile. The bottom of the base features a nicely detailed, abstract petal or leaf motif.


We are showing the Grooved base with our recently completed 16" Persian with Chain Mail shade.  This perfect combination of shade and base lets the delicate chain mail float in the air between the shade and the table top. This complete lamp was commissioned by a Southern client.
