Nearly everyone is familiar with Tiffany cut-glass lampshades but equally lovely are the lamp bases. Tiffany reproduction lamp bases allow you to furnish your home with that same lovely elegance. Some of the bases are made of metal, while others incorporate the cut glass theme used in the shades. Regardless of which style is being used, these reproductions will be a conversation piece in your home.
While Tiffany reproduction lamps usually cost a great deal less than a genuine Tiffany lamp, you should be aware that some of them can be part of a signed series, and can be fairly pricey themselves. It really depends on the quality of the reproduction and its history – you might say that some of the older reproductions have become collectors’ items themselves.
A good Tiffany reproduction lamp base can become a family treasure, especially the ones signed by authentic reproduction houses. When purchasing these reproductions, keep a close eye on the quality and make sure you are getting the materials and workmanship for which you are paying.
- Simple Tiffany Bases
Some of the Tiffany bases are fairly simple in design. They might be a single stem shape, or perhaps three columns, often made of brass or bronze. These graceful designs, even though they do not draw attention to themselves, elegantly support the cut glass shades making a lovely statement that will go well with plush furniture, lacy drapes, wingback chairs and the like. Or, you can go shabby chic or boho, and match them up with just about anything.
- Themed Bases
Other bases, such as bird on a grapevine or lily pond design have themes that go with the shade. Some of them, such as the Tiffany warehouse bird on a grapevine, are made of durable materials such as zinc, and are likely to wear well for many years. Some of the bases are even made of bronze. However, watch the materials carefully, as a few reproductions of reproductions are made of resin and are far less durable.
- Ceramic Vase Shaped
Not all Tiffany lamps came with bronze or even zinc bases. Some are ceramic and are shaped more like a vase. The best of these are weighted with sand to help keep the lamps from tipping over. These ceramic-based lamps can be a little larger and they are a tiny bit less expensive than the ones with metal bases.
- Cut Glass Bases
A particularly beautiful Tiffany lamp base is the Dragonfly lamp. The base is beautiful greens, blues and some bits of pink, with its own illumination separate from the two bulbs that are used under the shade. The shade itself displays dragonflies. The coordinated effect is exceptionally beautiful. This reproduction is made by Warehouse of Tiffany, a company that specifically creates reproductions of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s amazing designs.
