Tiffany Lamps

Tiffany lamps are characterised by a stained glass shade paired with a bronze base. The stained glass shade consists of pieces of stained glass soldered together with copper foil to create beautifully ornate patterns.




Tiffany Lamps are considered part of the Art Nouveau Movement and were first designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1899.

A Tiffany Lamp in your home is a wonderful piece of art that can be passed down to further generations.

A Passion

Design is a passion for me - anything from lamps to cakes as the name of the blog suggests.

I am in love with the ornate and what two better objects than lamps or cakes which aside from their obvious function serve to be wonderfully, intrinsically beautiful just for the sake of decoration.
