Hi Juliette,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Tiffany lamp shades are iconic pieces of decorative art, renowned for their vibrant, stained-glass designs. Originally created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these lamps feature hand-cut pieces of colored glass arranged in intricate patterns, often depicting nature-inspired themes like flowers, dragonflies, and landscapes. The shades' rich colors and craftsmanship create a warm, ambient light, making them timeless symbols of Art Nouveau elegance and innovative design.

Tiffany's lamp shades were so popular that they were copied and reproduced on a vast scale and it's not uncommon for those not BY Tiffany to be called Tiffany STYLE.

There were a few Tiffany makers - Louis Comfort Tiffany, Tiffany & Co, Tiffany Studios - and all of these marked their lamps. Sometimes the mark is small but usually on the upper rim and always visible upon close inspection.

I've handled a lot of Tiffany lamp shades in my nearly 30-year career and this doesn't look like an original Tiffany but if you've looked and haven't found one, it's probably a Tiffany STYLE shade.

When Tiffany Style lamps chandeliers are sold at auction, they usually sell between $300-500, depending on size and style.
