We are a full service design studio that creates high quality hand crafted windows, lamps, bronzes and other specialty items. We also have a full restoration studio that restores original Tiffany lamps, windows and patinas.
We have found that just as in Louis Comfort Tiffany’s time there are many people who love great glass, but simply can’t afford to own original pieces. As well, they are knowledgeable enough to know that the imported lamps available at your local home improvement store are just plain ridiculous!
I can make lamp shades and window in virtually any size or design that you wish. I can also provide appropriate table or floor lamp bases and hardware for my shades. I offer both high quality contemporary bronze and ceramic bases in various styles.
For the past 35 years, I have devoted an enormous amount of time, research and energy to the proper restoration of Tiffany Studios Lamps. In the late 1960’s, I was introduced to my first original Tiffany lamp, a 16” dragonfly. It was in a lamp restorer's shop in my hometown and the shop owner was kind enough to befriend me and educate me on Tiffany.
In the 1970’s, I began restoring lamps and quickly found out that restoration glass was difficult to find. After many years of struggle to find glass, I decided to try making my own. Around that time, I found an old German glassmaker, named Greg Lins, in Central Florida, who instructed me on the art of making glass and the rest they say is history. I was hooked. I made glass with him for many years. The glass was very good but not good enough to match the glass found in Tiffany lamps and windows. Therefore, in 1993, I began to make my own glass. I focused on a small amount of great glass. It took several years and thousands of batches and decoding of original Tiffany glass recipes to get to where I am today. My clients as well as many professional lamp restorers tell me that the glass that I use in my own original lamps and windows and in my restorations is virtually undetectable in color, quality and texture from the original glass made by Tiffany
Please feel free to contact me anytime regarding new lamp and window commissions, restorations and patinas. If you live in the Northeast and your shade needs a minor repair, I have a couple of local restorers, that I work with, that I can make glass available to so that you will not need to ship your repair item to Florida.
Thank you.

Tiffany Studios Lamps
In our endeavors, we believe that not only are you buying a beautiful work of art, but that it is a highly desired collectable that will only increase in value over time. Great American craftsmanship is disappearing and as labor costs go up and as senior craftsmen with the knowlege and experience pass on, you will see less and less of high quality artwork. This is not just my opinion but also the opinion of many of my forward thinking clients.
We would like to thank you for your years of continuous business. However, due to the fact that the highest caliber and painstaking measures are taken to make the highest quality of 20th Century decorative arts and Tiffany-style leaded lamp reproductions, we need for you to realize that they are just that; reproductions. In no way do we misrepresent reproductions. As well, we hope that any original artworks from this studio are represented as such. We would also like you to know that any original items, such as original Tiffany Studios, will be accompanied by a dated and signed receipt stating its authenticity. As always, our restoration agreements and clients will remain strictly confidential.
