Tiffany lamps are simple lamps made with the use of stained glass to produce alluring colours and patterns. These lamps get their name from the famous painter, Louis Comfort Tiffany. He was born in New York and lived during 1848-1933. During his illustrious carrier as an appreciator and creator of modern art, he started experimenting with glass. Some of his first master pieces with coloured stained glass still exist in various churches in America. With the leftover material, he devised various lamps, which would later come to be known as the original Tiffany lamps. These lamps are in much demand, even till this day, with some even going for millions of dollars in the black market.
