Tiffany lamp

Mosaic shade light

A Tiffany lamp is a type of decorative lamp with a shade made of stained glass pieces joined by copper foil, typically featuring colorful nature-inspired designs—flowers, dragonflies, geometric patterns.

Originally made by Louis Comfort Tiffany's studios in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, authentic pieces are valuable antiques.

The term now applies broadly to lamps in this style: The reading nook was lit by a Tiffany lamp with a wisteria pattern.
