Tiffany table lamp ideas

Table lamps offer so much in
terms of modesty and provide just the right amount of lighting that is
necessary.  One wonders what more can
be achieved with the table lamps, and this is where Tiffany table lamps have
an answer in simple terms, elegance. 
Tiffany table lamps, in common terms, are known as stained glass
windows.  Stained glass is patterned in
many different shapes and also contains a variety of shades that provide a
great contrast.  This table lamp is
more of a decorative lamp.  The
authentic ones are also a favorite among auctioneers and collectors, though
there are also mass-produced ones that are cheaper in
price.

How to buy one of these Tiffany table
lamps?  These are the points you should
consider before buying one of them.

Shades

The
beauty of the Tiffany table lamp lies in the different shades of the glasses
used here.  Using stained glass for
lighting is a fairly old style for lamps, but this table lamp gives it a
modern look.  When choosing a lamp, you
must take into account the glasses on the lamps.  The shades are nothing more than stained
glass cut into a certain shape and placed together to form a shape.  They usually come in a semicircular
shape.  You must make sure that the
colored glass is placed properly and does not fall off easily.  The second factor to consider is the
combination of different shades.  The
combination of shades should ensure that the lamps do not become too
extravagant as they reduce the elegance factor
there.

The
bases

The Tiffany table lamps are
designed in bronze and are heavy. 
Depending on the lamps, the base can be either designed or
standard.  Still, they still give the
lamp an antique look.  The modern bases
can be made of either cast bronze or even in white metal or wood.  In general, the weight of the base is one
of the factors to consider when buying a Tiffany table lamp, as it gives a
robust look to the lamp.  However, such
a base is only available in antique original pieces that can be quite
expensive.  The modern mass-produced
ones are made with relatively cheaper materials.

The
purpose

When it comes time to buy
a Tiffany table lamp, you must definitely consider the purpose and location
of the lamp.  Also the size of the
room, the table where the lamp would be placed, the quality of the lamp are
some of the other pointers.  An
important factor is that you have to make sure that the lamp gels well with
the amount of furniture around it and does not look like an odd decoration
completely out of sync.
