AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful sleek Tiffany-style pendant lamp. The lamp has a sleek cone shape. The height of the lamp is about 15 cm and the diameter about 27.5 cm. The lamp weighs almost 1 kg.
The lamp probably dates from the 1980s of the last century and was likely made in the Netherlands. The lamp is attached to a cord of about 50 cm, the shade hangs about 50 cm below the ceiling. Of course you can shorten the cord or attach a longer cord to the lamp.
The lamp is made up of 12 ribbons of opal-blue mottled glass. The glass is predominantly opal blue and has streaks of white through it; very beautiful! The photos give a good impression of the colors and how they work; in the on and off positions. The photos speak for themselves. When the lamp is off, the colors are slightly more pronounced, but when it is on you get a beautiful blue glow that carries you to a romantic beach on the Côte d’Azur (see photos); very beautiful! The overall effect is a fresh but also romantic atmosphere when turned on. Even when dimmed, this blue lamp is a delight to behold.
A Tiffany-style lamp like this is an eye-catcher and fits into any interior. It provides functional light, but the glow through the colored glass also gives the light and the appearance of the lamp something special. You can vary it with different colors of light (lamps).
Origin Tiffany
Tiffany lamps originate from New York. Louis Comfort Tiffany, born in 1848 in New York, was a glass artist and designer. He was known for his stained glass. In 1894 Tiffany applied for a patent on his famous Favrile glass. This is a fusion of normal opalescent white glass with clearly colored glass. This colored glass was used in stained glass windows. Many tried to mix these kinds of glass, but no one had really succeeded. Eventually Tiffany was the first to manage it. He was able to mix five different colors.
Louis’s parents owned a jewelry shop (Tiffany's). Thus Louis dealt with jewelry, gemstones, silverware, etc. Before he worked in that business himself, he crossed the seas. On European soil he was inspired by countless churches and cathedrals. Especially the French and Austrian churches boasted fantastic stained-glass windows. These European influences are still visible in Tiffany’s work today.
Difference between Tiffany and stained glass
The difference between Tiffany and stained glass is that in stained glass the cut pieces of glass are fitted into a lead came (H-shaped strip), after which these lead pieces are soldered together. In Tiffany, the cut pieces of glass are edged with a strip of thin copper foil. The copper edges are then soldered to each other.
Tiffany-style
Most lamps are not original Tiffany lamps (original examples can sometimes fetch a million dollars at auctions), but are made in his style. This lamp as well.
A Tiffany-style lamp like this is an eye-catcher and fits into any interior.
The lamp will be carefully packed and insured for shipment.
Seller's Story
I sell antique and vintage products. The items I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from phones to wooden sculptures, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat racks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually objects that I personally like and that are of high quality. It sometimes takes effort to part with them!
My expertise lies primarily in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes combined with paper filler material. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double-wall cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days of purchase. I attach great importance to friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
