What the Tiffany technique is
In the late 19th century Louis Comfort Tiffany proposed a new way of assembling stained glass. Each piece of glass is cut from the sketch and ground, its edges are wrapped in copper foil, and then the pieces are soldered together with tin.
The technique makes it possible to create not only flat panels but also three-dimensional pieces: ceilings and domes, lamps, wall sconces, vases. The elements can be convex or concave.
Where Tiffany stained glass is used
- stained glass for windows
- stained glass in doors
- niches and partitions
- stained glass ceilings
- kitchen cabinet fronts
- stained glass mosaics
Stained glass suits any interior style, from classic to high-tech. The finished piece is strong, rigid and light at the same time, which is why it is installed in private houses, restaurants, cafes and hotels.
How to recognize quality stained glass
Look at the soldering: in well-made stained glass the seam is even and neat on both sides, with no bumps or dips. There should be no cracks, gaps or chips between the pieces of glass.
What glass we work with
We use glass from European and American manufacturers, as well as glass of our own production, made in a fusing kiln. The glass can be colored, clear, translucent or opal, with various textures.
