Torchiere Floor Lamp in Tiffany Blue

I was surfing the net looking for pictures of

Tiffany & Co. inspired Christmas stuff when

I came across this beautiful torchiere made 

by Louis Comfort Tiffany in Tiffany Blue.

I know I have not blogged about torchiere

lighting and saw this as an opportunity to do so.

Torchiere floor lamps provide an easy and 

effective way to supply soft, but effective room lighting

that bounces off the ceiling to illuminate a space.  They provide 

a beautiful way to light a room when overhead light is lacking, 

or simple when collateral lighting is preferable.

Louis Comfort Tiffany advanced his interior design career

by producing stained glass windows for the homes of the

elite of New York City society.  The interior design

firm ultimately evolved into a studio from which his

extremely prized leaded glass Tiffany lamps were 

handcrafted by a team of artisans and craftsmen.

Tiffany Blue mixed with Christmas Red makes this table really pop!

This is the Tiffany Suite.  The console table looks like it was

designed to look like a ring--very clever!

The flush-mounted crystal chandelier is probably from

Schonbek.  Schonbek has several levels of crystal and many

different styles from traditional to contemporary.

I recently used several Schonbek pieces on a project.

My client had a feng shui expert come in to tell her

how to create the best energy in her home.  He

recommended crystal chandeliers.

Do you think it's true that good things come in small

packages?
