Choosing a Tiffany Lamp for Your Home or Office

During the process of choosing a Tiffany lamp for you, besides the design and look of the piece, the following should be kept in mind. Is the supplier you have found an expert when it comes to the quality and accuracy of the Tiffany designs themselves, or are they only selling designs only "inspired by" Tiffany? If you are looking for something with the Tiffany look and legacy, find out if this major difference exists.

Also, does the manufacturer or seller of these lamps have any insurance in shipping and quality? Make sure you ask if there is a money-back guarantee, should any problems or breakage occurs during shipping, or in case the craftsmanship is not to your liking. Always handle these potential problems ahead of time--it's a major investment we're talking about!

The best idea to first think about is how you want your lamp to affect the room. Do you want to buy stained glass that creates a light, cool, bright look that will sparkle and shine on your furniture? Or, do you want to create a dark, rich look that evokes ages gone by?

And for whom are you buying the lamp? Is the lamp for a newly married couple creating a new home for themselves; perhaps you should ask them about the colors they are looking to use. Or, is it for a office that needs to be revamped; maybe the lamps should match and complement the existing furniture. Ask these simple questions, and choosing a Tiffany lamp will come easier.
