AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very beautiful, sleek Tiffany-style pendant lamp. The lamp has a pyramid shape, with flattened corners (see photos). The sides are each approximately 31 cm, and the height is about 25 cm. The lamp weighs approximately 1.5 kg.

The lamp probably dates from the 1980s and was likely made in the Netherlands. It is attached to a chain with an electrical cable running through it, which can be lengthened or shortened, allowing you to hang the lamp closer to or further from the ceiling. The chain (with ceiling cap) currently attached is about 90cm, but it can of course be shortened.

The lamp is constructed with a top and a bottom edge in a triangular shape, with a flower soldered onto each side, except for the flattened corners. The glass on the large surfaces has a fairly neutral white tint, the edge has a gray-blue hue, and the flower leans more towards pearl shimmer. This color combination creates a very beautiful light, allowing you to play with different types and colors of lamps, which with this glass repeatedly provide different color accents.
The overall effect gives a beautiful glow when the lamp is turned on. Even when turned off, this lamp is a delight to the eye.
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 lamp's appearance a touch of romance. As mentioned earlier, you can vary with different colors of light (lamps).

Origin Tiffany
Tiffany lamps originally come 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 Fravile glass. This is a fusion of normal opalescent white glass with brightly colored glass. This colored glass was used in stained glass windows. Many tried to mix these types of glass, but no one had truly succeeded until then. Ultimately, Tiffany was the first to manage it. He was able to blend five different colors.

Louis's parents owned a jewelry store (Tiffany's). As a result, Louis was exposed to jewelry, gemstones, silverware, and so on. Before he entered this business himself, he traveled across the sea. On European soil, he was inspired by countless churches and cathedrals. Especially the French and Austrian churches had magnificent stained glass windows. These European influences are still visible today in Tiffany's work.

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 strip (H-shaped), which is then soldered together. In Tiffany, the cut pieces of glass are edged with a thin strip of copper foil. These copper-edged pieces are then soldered to each other.

Tiffany style
Most lamps are not authentic Tiffany lamps (original pieces can sometimes fetch up to a million dollars at auctions), but are made in the style of Tiffany. This lamp is also one of them.
A Tiffany-style lamp like this is an eye-catcher and fits in any interior.

The lamp is skillfully packaged and shipped insured.
