The Best Table Lamps Begin at the Factory!!

Long before electric table lamps ever graced the homes of people around the world, oil lamps and candles helped Abraham Lincoln and other night owls get through the night.  While oil lamps were critical to our very survival at one time, they remained largely functional and did little to improve the décor.  But, ever since Louis Comfort Tiffany introduced the world to the incredible beauty of combining art glass with light fixtures, we have been beautifying and gracing our homes with elegant lamps ever since!

 Of course, there were still stately chandeliers and other gorgeous light fixtures prior to Louis Tiffany creating his infamous glass art lamps and fixtures.  However, because of his patented copperfoil process and the introduction of favrille art glass, Tiffany was able to bathe homes in gently diffused illumination while ingratiating the décor with radiant color and elegant design. 

Today, of course, original Tiffany lamps like some of the Wisteria’s or Hanginghead Dragonfly designs can command 6 figures and above at the world’s finest auction houses.  There are some companies like Dale Tiffany and Meyda Tiffany whose commitment to using the same materials and manufacturing techniques as Louis himself have set their reproductions and original designs apart as tops in the industry—at prices the rest of us can afford!  Tiffany lamps are perfect accents or even focal points in any traditional décor but also make interesting contrasts in contemporary settings.

However, you might not want to accessorize your entire contemporary décor with elegant and ornate Tiffany light fixtures or reproductions.  Contemporary lamps tend to feature abstract shapes, geometric design, clean lines, and have sleek silhouettes.  You will not commonly find a great deal of color in modern lamps but they tend to be highly artistic and can certainly make or break any interior design scheme.  The best bet is to buy complementary fixtures that accentuate the color scheme and surrounding décor in both design and finish.

Quoizel lamps and light fixtures are some of the best in the business thanks to the company’s continuing commitment to using the best materials, creating innovative yet timeless designs, and keeping prices to a minimum.  Founded during the Great Depression in 1930, Quoizel Lighting is still a family owned enterprise and you can definitely tell that the owners have a personal interest in the quality of the products because each and every Quoizel floor lamp, pendant, and light fixture will bring you years of worry free use and pleasure.
