The mere mention of the word Tiffany will immediately call to mind an
idea of quality and unsurpassed excellence. A master craftsman with a
world renown reputation for producing one-of-a-kind masterpieces, Louis
Comfort Tiffany
Sets a benchmark for the rest of the world to follow. At the end,
however, his company went bankrupt and he died with some of his greatest
works being tossed into attics and trash bins. His work had been so
popular and in such demand that it had become common and out of fashion.
But, when some of his pieces began commanding six-figure sums at
auction with a perpetually diminishing supply, the world once again took
notice of the artist and his great works. By that point, however,
hardly any could afford the "Touch of Tiffany".
Dale
Tiffany Background
In 1979, Dale Tiffany embarked on an
ambitious mission to produce high quality replicas and make the "Touch
of Tiffany" affordable to the average person by reproducing original
Louis Tiffany designs and styles. Dale Tiffany quickly became the only
company in the world to standardize stained glass production. With the
revolutionary new process and by using only the best hand-rolled glass,
world-class reproductions became affordable. Dale Tiffany still employs
the copper foil technique, originally developed by Louis Comport Tiffany
over a century ago, to create one-of-a-kind works of art that are
sought out by buyers the world over.
Adhering to the
design principles of masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Philip J.
Handel, and of course Louis himself, Dale Tiffany is able to recapture
the essence that made the Tiffany name infamous. Dale Tiffany is also
able to create pieces that reflect contemporary design schemes and bring
the trademark name into the 21st century. The same fanatical insistence
upon excellence is employed by Dale Tiffany whether they are making a
high-end replica or an affordable table or floor lamp.
Inspired
by the Tiffany products being appraised on a popular television show
named The Antiques RoadshowTM, Dale Tiffany began making replicas of
actual pieces depicted while filming. They are now known simply as The
Antiques RoadshowTM Collection and all replicas are designed by the
award winning Sergio Orozco. The collection has been a big hit with
customers and continues to help set Dale Tiffany apart from the
competition. Other famous collections offered by Dale Tiffany include
the Sculpture, Museum, Traditional, Home, and of course the Tiffany.
The
range of products available from the Dale Tiffany company continues to
grow with each year. Just a few of the products they offer are: wall
sconces, accents, chandeliers, ceiling fixtures, stained glass windows,
pendants, and a full range of table, desk and floor lamps. Of course
their entire selection of lighting is available in a dizzying array of
styles including Art Deco, Classical/Traditional, Arts & Crafts,
Mission, Victorian, and Modern.
