The famous Tiffany style stained glass lamps were the innovative design started by Louis Comfort Tiffany, a designer and artist who was born in New York City in 1848.

It was this collaboration that spawned the idea for making electric table lamps for home use.

Tiffany collaborated with other designers, such as Carol Driscoll, to produce a variety of artistic designs for his stained glass lamps.

Tiffany lamps were considered a part of the Art Nouveau movement and were extremely popular in the early 1900's.

However, by the late 1920's, the lamps were becoming outdated because they were considered too ornate for the more simple designs of that era.

The lamps did not make a comeback until the early 1950's, almost 20 years after Louis Comfort Tiffany's death in 1933.

Tiffany lamps have since become highly valued collectible antiques, sought after by fine art collectors all over the world.

Original Tiffany lamps have sold for as much as $2 million at auction.

Luckily, there are several modern day manufacturers of Tiffany reproduction lamps that recreate the original Tiffany designs, using the same method used to make the original Tiffany lamps.

This technique is known as the Copper Foil Method, which is how original Tiffany lamps were made.

These decorative wall lamps will also work with many different decorating styles.

There are southwestern style lamps and rustic looking pinecone designs that would look great in a lodge setting.

If you like art and décor that has Native American influences mixed with a touch of old Mexico and the deserts of the Southwest, then you will love the look of Southwestern lamps.

The Tarahumara Indians of Mexico produce some absolutely stunning southwest Indian pottery lamps.

The Tarahumara Indians also make drum lamps.

These lamps have a pine or cedar drum with rawhide lacing as a base and are topped with a rawhide shade.

Another common element used to make Southwestern lamps is wrought iron.

Wrought iron lamps are very rustic looking especially when paired with a rawhide or parchment lamp shade.

Some Southwestern lamps are constructed with elements found in nature.

Just like the Indian pottery lamps which are made with the earth found in the Southwestern deserts, antler lamps are very attractive, rustic lamps that are made from deer or elk antlers.

These lamps are extremely popular because each one is unique.

Aspen logs are also used to make Southwestern style lamps.
