Art Glass Lamps

Enchanting works of art shine brightly and boldly with art glass lamps.  The artistic expression is magnified when colour and glass are meshed together in designing beautiful, inspiring lighting pieces.  Whether you want some function of light or will just use the light for added artistic interest, grace your home with a lamp that exudes a definite creative appeal.

The multitude of lamps that exhibit artistic creation can be functional and a true means of lighting.  They are useful and beautiful on a bedside table, for a reading area, as minimal room lighting and especially to create subdued mood lighting.  However, glass art is a stunning display of various techniques that prove to tantalize your senses and interest your eyes to truly admire such a splendid combination of glass and vibrant colours.  Techniques such as glass blowing, mosaic designing, stained glass forming, Millefiore (an Italian glass blowing process) and hand painted glass are all displayed in an array of beauty in artistically inspired lighting.

Tiffany lighting generally refers to lamps with glass shades, being delicately particular in design and workmanship.  A variety of designs draw the eye to the exquisite attention to detail that it takes to produce a simple form, like glass, to an elaborate piece of art.  Both the shades and body of lamps can provide an interesting display of art.  Some of the lamps that use glass blowing techniques are very magnificent in their visual play of colour as well as the smooth curvy shapes.  The blend of several colours or even the variations in tome of one colour, result in an awesome piece that will be a lamp to get noticed wherever it sits.

The popular Tiffany style glass lamps are stunning pieces that call for a location in your home where its charm can be highly appreciated.  A Hat and Shoe Umbrella Table Lamp is a finely constructed one-of-a-kind lamp that has the shape of a hat, shoe and umbrella lit by 3 bulbs.  Manufactured by Dale Tiffany, this piece is created with several pieces of coloured glass connected by the “copper foil” technique that dates back 100 years, originally developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.  This art lamp has a metal base with an antique brass finish to make this a striking work of art.

Abstract art is alive and well in the lighting industry.  Various designs get praise and admiration for “out of the box” thinking and truly valued as an artistic piece that clearly uses light in the piece for purely creative reasons.  A glasswork technique called Millefiori (Italian for a thousand flowers) produces distinctive flower-like patterns, uniquely created for lamps by glass-blowing processes.   Make a statement with a modern Lavonne Table Lamp.  It has a swirling base distinctly formed with antique bronze, making this sculpture-looking lamp a perfect fit for any room.  The fabric shade utilizes abstract painting design to complement a contemporary environment.

Light within art makes for a special visual scene that makes your home an intriguing environment for everyone.  Art glass lamps will play an important role of lighting and decorating your house in an intriguing manner.
