Mission Tiffany Style Table Lamp Reviews
Hey folks bought this lamp becuase I've always wanted an art deco style Tiffany lamp. My grandparents had a few in their 1913 house and I have always admired them. Since I'm very familiar with the real ones I would like to point out that traditionally these lamps were made from leaded glass. hand cut glass and soldered together so to speak with lead. So no two or very few were ever alike. Each one was different. This lamp here, this new one, it's as close as you're going to get. The glass is REAL no plastic as some would suggest giving lesser reviews. At first glance one might assume that it's not well made because of inconsistencies but I believe those to be true to the hand made nature (not sure if these are but they look it) It's a heavy lamp like the old ones were and the thing is solid. You pull on one of or both of the chains and it does not feel like it's going to break. Is it an heirloom piece? I don't know - if you can find them on eBay the real ones are still better in my opnion but they have LEAD so you might want think about that. I don't know about the new ones seems not to be lead based on color.
My lamp arrived earlier than predicted and in very protective packaging, though I would have preferred fewer peanuts. Although there were no directions included, the method was intuitive, and lamp went together easily. The shade is just what I hoped for; burnt orange, ivory, mossy green accents. Regular round bulbs showed just below lower edge of lampshade, an effect I dislike. However, I decided to try the newer "corkscrew" long-life bulbs, and they are just narrower enough to be hidden beneath shade! I am using 40 watt in both sockets, which gives nice glow in a rather dark corner. I believe 60 watt bulbs are the maximum that should be used. Also, since sockets are independently controlled, a lower wattage could be used on one side as just a nightlight. I like this lamp so much I may buy another; definitely recommended. Addition January 6, 2012: This lamp is so lovely in my living room that I did decide to buy another for a diagonal corner of same room. I continue to recommend this highly.
We ordered two of these lamps for our game room in our basement and we absolutely LOVE them!!! Although I have to agree with some of the previous writers...it's not glass but plastic. With saying that, it really didn't matter to us whether it was glass or not. The colors are vivid and beautiful and the lamps fit perfectly in our room. We didn't want to pay $500 for a tiffany lamp and we wanted lamps that matched since we have two bar tables in the room and these were exactly what we wanted. Thinking also that we have young children who use the room, it is better for us that these are not glass. The mission style is exactly what we were looking for and when we enter the room we always say how much we love these lamps. The price was also where we wanted to be. Thank you.
This is a nice addition to the arts and crafts style sunroom. It looks great against the exposed brick wall and casts a warm light, which I'm currently reviewing this product under. The only complaint I have is that the square top screw, which anchors the shade to the lamp body, is a bit abrupt and doesn't transition well from the flat shade top. This is a small aesthetic qualm, but if you have the lamp placed in an area where you are looking down on the top of it, then it bothers me a little. However, for being a relatively inexpensive lamp, this is a minor complaint. The bronze base is very sturdy and looks great....and the plastic shade is a dead ringer for leaded glass
