Stained Glass Chandelier – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with Tiffany

Stained glass has been use on the big and tall windows in many churches, and consist of colored pieces of glass glued together to depict religious figures. This beautiful art form has been incorporated into the production of stained glass chandeliers by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the son of a New York jeweler and father of the famous Tiffany lamps. He had successfully developed the art of stained glass manufacturing and incorporated beautiful designs and illustrious colors. This had been possible through the fusion of metallic oxide chemistry with that of traditional glass-making techniques. Because of these new techniques, it is possible to produce stained glass lights with over 5000 colors. Apart from that, they come in different textures such as wavy, smooth and pebbled. Due to the work of Tiffany, their produces of lamps, pendants and chandeliers have gained great popularity and sparked huge demand.

Today, a Tiffany stained glass chandelier is always found with flower and leaf designs, probably due to the Art nouveau influences. Authentically, stained glass ceiling lights are always made up of small multiple-colored glass panes pieced together randomly like jigsaw puzzles but with great harmonization and artistic talent that each chandelier is nothing less than a masterpiece.

Exercising the manipulative power of color and light, these chandeliers made of stained glass are favorites for contemporary style lighting pendants and as kitchen island chandeliers. Unique in its own casual way, Tiffany’s stained chandeliers come with stem-pieces made of wood or iron so as to accentuate the “glass flowers” lighting fixtures which were usually found in groups of five or six. Nowadays, authentic Tiffany lamps and chandeliers are hard to find and extremely expensive to acquire. However, there are many new reproductions which are readily available at more affordable prices to anyone who desires for a stained glass chandelier hanging in their living or dining hall.
