Tiffany Lighting - The Style And Beauty Brought To Your Home - 2

...In 1893 Louis Tiffany's company introduced the term 'Favrile' in correlation to his first production of blow glass pieces at his glass factory in New York at Corona. Tiffany trademarked 'Favrile' on November 13th, 1894 and later used the word to refer to all of his glass, pottery and enamel pieces.

While much of Tiffany's productions were lamps and other stained glass pieces, the company also produced a complete spectrum of interior decorations of all kinds.

Tiffany also designed his own home, an eighty four room estate called Laurelton Hall in Oyster Bay, Long Island that was established in the year 1904. Tiffany's Estate in Oyster Bay was later donated to his foundation for art students as well as sixty acres of land. Unfortunately, these donated lands were destroyed by fire in 1957.

The art and vision of Louis Comfort Tiffany live on in the unique style of Tiffany stained glass. This style has been reproduced in countless variations since Tiffany and before. The beauty of stained glass, of course, goes back thousands of years.

If you are interested in purchasing Tiffany-inspired lamps and stained glass pieces, there are many websites, both commercial and informational, where you can find out more about this particular style of lighting.

You can always turn some of your lights off if you feel that you have too much lighting in a certain room. You can pick and choose which lights to use each day as well. Have fun with your lighting styles and accessories, as you will be glad that you have lit up your home in the long run.
