Tiffany lamps
by TIFFANY, Louis Comfort, Photo
The “stars” of Tiffany’s enormous product range were his lighting appliances, an absolutely central feature of the repertoire. In 1882, Tiffany had designed gaslighting for the White House and other important clients. Designing lights allowed him to combine all his main interests - his love of light effects of all kinds, of the iridescent interplay of colours, and glass as a material.
