Explore the construction, fabrication, design, and qualities of authentic Tiffany lamps made between 1900 and 1918. Tiffany Studios produced thousands of lamps in hundreds of designs, although many of the designs were closely related. Examining the ways in which the forms, patterns, and motifs were changed and adapted illuminates the extraordinary design vocabulary of Tiffany Studios. This selection of over 80 magnificent color photographs clearly demonstrates how shade patterns range from deceptively simple to extraordinarily complex. Learn how the Tiffany designers manipulated a decorative scheme by repetition of the motifs: sometimes patterns are repeated within the shade and sometimes a shade has no repeats. The nuance of color may shift from top to bottom in a delicate progression or around the shade, as flowers are different from season to season. By closely observing the many varied designs of Tiffany shades, a deeper understanding of the quality and beauty of these objects is made possible.

Other books have more vivid photos
I bought this book as a souvenir after seeing The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass. This book was a good value for the price. However, it is worth noting that the white background of the photos did not enhance the beauty of the lamps as well as a darker background would have. One book on the subject with much more vivid photos is The Lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany . If I wanted to spend more, I would have bought that book instead.

Doesn’t look new
If you consider this as a gift for someone, better go for Louis Comfort book. This book looks used and photos are more pale compared to Louis Comfort (I bought both so could compare right away).

Beautiful and informative
Great book for talking through the history of the Tiffany business and how it evolved. Although there are plenty of beautiful photos, this probably isn’t the book for you if you want purely an inspirational ‘picture’ book as such. It is great for explaining about the techniques used snd theory begins colour choices etc, so I found it the perfect balance. A great book to have in any Tiffany lovers collection.
