| | Louis Comfort Tiffany and the Tiffany Studios | Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-19330 was a 19th century painter, the youngest ever member of the
National Academy when he was admitted at the age of 23. In the 1870's he was working with coloured
glass, creating stained glass windows for churches, often incorporating plants and flowers, the
forerunner of his later work on lamps.
In 1879, with two other artists he founded the glassmaking company of Louis Comfort Tiffany and
Associated American Artists, making glass windows, the most famous of which was created for the
White House. In 1885 he broke up this company to strike out on his own, starting the Tiffany Glass
Company which eventually became the Tiffany Studios Read More about Louis Comfort Tiffany and the Tiffany Studios

The design was then drawn onto the paper or linen, defining the different colored areas of the
chosen design, each of which will eventually be made from a separate piece of glass. Read More about Traditional Method of Making Tiffany Lamps

instead.

different types of glass require different cleaning methods: Read More about Cleaning your Tiffany Lampshade
