Ever since Thomas Edison invented the incandescent light bulb in 1879, fine quality lighting, with its tranquil soft glow, have become among the most celebrated Arts and Crafts objects. Louis Tiffany, Gustav Stickley and others design lamps, lanterns, and chandeliers to illuminate every room with flare and imagination. Today's lamp designs by Stickley are made of solid oak and cherry, enhanced by leaded glass, mica or linen shades. The leaded glass is made in the same manner made popular by Louis Tiffany in the late 1800's.
