NOTE: This is a HARDCOVER BOOK and not a table lamp

Louis Comfort Tiffany (18481933) found inspiration in the gardens of Laurelton Hall, his vast country estate on Long Islands North Shore. There, Tiffany carefully drew and painted the flowering trees, vines, flowers, and fauna that were the chief ornaments of his prized glass lamps. This sumptuous volume features 70 lamps, photographed by Colin Cooke using his own specially developed techniques that reveal Tiffanys mastery of glassmaking and metal work. The authors relate the chief decorative themes in Tiffanys masterpieces to the work of other fin-de-sicle glassmakers and outline the making of Tiffanys lamps, from freehand sketch to elegant finished form.


"The publication of is a dazzling roundup of some of the beauties. The lamps--many are on view for the first time--are shown in full glory by gifted New York photographer Colin Cooke. This 'eye candy' at its very best." -
