Tiffany style table lamps are decadent New York

Today we’ll take a gander at our new product at Luxury Products, the Tiffany style table lamps. And despite the fact that there is a whole lot of it on the Internet, it’s mostly cheap mass production. So I think all Secession lovers and enthusiasts deserve a few words of truth about the production of these beautiful works of applied art. Because an informed customer must have some idea of what awaits him when darkness approaches….

I think to myself that Louis Comfort Tiffany himself didn’t know quite how he would influence the fashion of his products. But I know for sure that if he had seen what crap they are producing now he never would have started this unusual and fascinating journey. Which ultimately led to so much popularity. If one can talk about Art Nouveau goods, then to some extent Tiffany-style table lamps have influenced mass pop culture. Although the original ones are no longer aimed at the mass customer. His glassblowing Tiffany Studios gained tremendous publicity, and all of New York at the time coveted his wares.

And this is niche, the answer of a small manufactory to the demand for luxury goods. Louis knew this very well and eagerly exploited it as much as he could!

Tiffany style table lamps – where did the idea come from?

This clever boy drew his inspiration from European and Asian craft cultures. This veritable and stunning correlation was very simple, yet deadly effective. Louis also added Gothic influences and Persian magic. So all of this must have produced the final insane results and unforgettable impressions on customers. So here we have a diverse melting pot of inspiration, as well as a powerful dose of the author’s knowledge.

Ok, but what did these luxurious Tiffany-style table lamps actually contain. Well, the premise was incredibly trivial, namely to make a product out of wire and favrile blown glass. Favrile is a term invented by the creator himself, so he had momentum and imagination. The turn of the 20th century saw even more brand recognition for Tiffany Studios. And with the fame came more and more new designs, often referring to Art Nouveau in the later period.

Price does not play a role

Today, these cachetes reach staggering prices and a sought-after commodity. The cost of a single Tiffany-style table lamp starting from a few thousand dollars, to several hundred thousand, approaching a million surprises no one today. Therefore, the more I myself am surprised, how does anyone believe in a product for a few hundred that it is somehow a reference to the famous brand?

Well, that’s right, copies in the world today are made in the millions, but most of them are not made completely even by hand. Not to mention the materials used. Therefore, dear customers think for yourselves, is it possible to reduce the cost of such a luxury lamp to a few hundred? Probably not.

Tiffany style table lamps – why do high quality products hold their price?

Creating a high-end lamp involves a high cost due to enormous labor and completely handmade. Using low-quality materials, there will certainly not be the effect we would like.

Tiffany lamp is not only a source of light, but also a beautiful object that decorates the interior. Therefore, it is such a kind of glowing stained glass, which has a certain purpose, especially in the long autumn evenings. You know what I’m talking about, the autumn depression and the long horrible time is very monotonous. And this product with its colors gives a great mood in the interior. Anyway, you need to check it in your own interior and that’s it.

Peculiar beauty enclosed in high-quality amber

Tiffany style table lamps must look beautiful in both lit and extinguished state. This is achieved by using special glass from American glassworks, which is multi-layered and designed in such a way that it looks striking in the unlit state while it only comes to life when the light source is lit. And this is all Bayer in Bel Air, for here you can see what the product is really made of.

A true gourmet will catch what’s wrong, especially with the material, because you can see it at a glance. Especially already after the bulb is lit. That’s where the magic of top-quality glass lies. And such are the Tiffany style table lamps on our Luxury Products Platform. Fabulous, solidly made and, most importantly, handmade!

Tiffany style table lamps – how do they differ from fakes available on the market?

Most of them are mass-produced in Chinese factories using industrial methods of glass of quite low quality. Because if it is going to cost a few hundred, it is not worth using good raw material, after all, it will not pay off. If a lamp consists of, for example, 300 parts then a programmed machine cuts out, for example, 50 pieces of each element and, for example, 50 identical lamps can be assembled at once. That’s what a machine-made lamp is, which has absolutely nothing to do with those beautiful Tiffany table lamps.

The methods of joining these components are also specific, e.g. gluing with an unrecognized binder instead of the traditional soldering with tin. Such lamps are unrepairable if damaged. And this is a very big difference, because the original products are made for many hours piece by piece.

Meet the seasoned master craftsman!

The techniques in which the lamps at Luxury Products are made by Mr. Mariusz Becela are a great example of what a true handmade Tiffany table lamp looks like. It is a unique style and very long and tiring work that the artist puts into his work.

Tiffany style table lamps by Mr. Mariusz are made using a traditional method used since the time of L.C.Tiffany. The glass is cut by hand according to a pre-designed template, ground, wrapped with a special thin copper strip and soldered with tin, then finished with patination in black or old copper color. The Tiffany method does not involve the use of lead profiles as in traditional stained glass. So we have the answer to what it should look like and how much effort it takes to produce such a luxury product.

How much time does it take a skilled craftsman to make a Tiffany-style Table Lamp?

Mr. Mariusz says that a simple lamp (30-60 elements) – is a time of several hours.
Lamp 200-500 elements – from a week upwards. And those most complicated designs made of the best (most expensive) glass, e.g. Wisteria which has 2400 tiny elements – several weeks. That’s why it’s so labor-intensive and the mass-market here has no chance to compete with the real makers of these products.

The factory has to spend relatively less time to produce such a lamp, so they use techniques that don’t take much time. The final product that comes out is Tiffan-like and has absolutely nothing to do with the brand. Anyway, most of the manufactures we offer on the Luxury Products Platform They spend a great deal of time implementing the project and embracing the entire order fulfillment process. Maybe not all customers like it, but this is the reality.

Price plays a role

I would compare it to a quality dinner at a good restaurant. If they serve you a dish in a few minutes or so, it is too fast a time to create a masterpiece.

Good products take time to create, so an informed customer who is looking for luxury knows that lead times can take several or even several weeks. This is inextricably linked to the entire ordering process, period!

Tiffany style lamps – why do people love them so much?

We have thousands of luxury lighting products, such as Italian lamps. On the other hand, a large part of them are created about the designs of today’s well-known creators. Despite the fact that they are really luxurious and designer are created today. Tiffany style table lamps produced by ” Studio Tiffany ” is an eccentric say of New York and original history.

This is one of the few types of lighting made entirely by hand. So, an important item for any lover of handmade products. Each lamp is different, and in a way this is good news for individualists. Thanks to the use of unique glass, we can achieve lighting effects incomparable to industrial lampshades made of paper, canvas, factory glass, etc.

Large amount = original Tiffany

Certainly the sense of value is strongly influenced by the price of the original Tiffany lamps, so people are looking for good quality products very much like the real goods. Tiffany originals were created in L.C.Tiffany’s studio in New York in the early 20th century. They were signed and numbered, and are sold at Sothebys auctions e.g. Virginia Creepes for $1 million 800 thousand.

This gives a lot of leeway and stirs the imagination. Many customers, therefore, want at least a faithful copy at home. The price on the Luxury Products Platform starts from more than a thousand zlotys upwards. These larger handmade lamps in the Tiffany backdrop cost more than 7 thousand zlotys.

So there’s a price difference here between Asian mass-market stuff and real luxury handmade. And an honest product and uniquely reminiscent never has a price. It is the work of the artisan that makes the real difference, prices are just an add-on.

To whom the offer of exclusive Tiffany lamps is addressed

Mr. Mariusz’s workshop has been making special order products for many years. Therefore, the offer of lamps is addressed to all fans of Tiffany style and their luxury goods. If you want to move to the times of Art Nouveau, or decadent New York turn on a handmade lamp in the evening. Of course, a product in such exquisiteness will not suit every interior. These are products for more warm, classic, antique apartments or houses. A standout here would be Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

This is where the lights would surely find their place on earth. And who is the owner of such a seasoned product? Well, first of all, it is a man who is aware of the handiwork, the great effort put into the creation, and the use of only the highest quality materials.

Luxury handmade

It is not bla bla, something there, something there – Mass-produced, only the highest quality handmade! If you are looking for cheapness, there are tons of these products on the internet. But I know that Tiffany would certainly not wish to trample on what he set up for himself. And only a faithful reproduction of the production of these table lamps in style in a meaningful way can refer to the Tiffany Studio.

Louis assumed for himself high-quality production, so if we want to keep all the details, only real craftsmen and long work can give us the final very similar goods.

To visualize what a faithful likeness really looks like, I invite my clients to the many studios I work with. And there, you can see firsthand the solid workmanship and the secret of Tiffany.
