Even though the spring sun seems to arrive relatively late, it is never too early for a stunning window decoration in the shape of a Tiffany window panel. Due to the bright daylight, the Tiffany suncatchers create a nice light effect. Antique Style Web Store is the perfect place to find Tiffany window panels.

Louis Comfort Tiffany

When hearing the name Tiffany, everyonel immediately thinks of the Tiffany lamps, which can be recognised by their stained glass lampshades and organic shapes and colours. When looking at the Tiffany window decorations, it is clear that Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) was specialised in working with coloured glass. Though the window panels strongly resemble stained glass windows, they are made of Favrile glass and this technique was patented by Tiffany in 1894. The technique mixes normal, white glass with brightly coloured glass. Tiffany was the first person who managed to mix five different colours. The Favrile glass is still world famous to this very day.

Historical look

The elegant shapes in transparent, coloured glass are often reminiscent of the stunning stained glass windows in old churches and historical houses. It is no wonder that the Tiffany window panels are very attractive for those who love the antique and classic style. Besides, the window decorations give off a stunning, warm light that has an atmospheric and nostalgic effect.

Various designs and sizes

At Antique Style Web Store, there is a broad range of the most beautiful Tiffany light catchers and window panels. Vertical or horizontal glass panels and also a triptych glass panel. Geometrical shapes are alternated by elegant floral shapes: blossoming flowers and winding leaves. Colours have been matched beautifully, such as purple combined with blue and green or red combined with orange and pink. There are also a few charming window panels with coloured glass in natural and earthy shades. In short: when choosing a Tiffany window panel, you will also bring a sublime piece of art to your home.

Placing the glass window panels

A Tiffany window panel can be placed in front of the window above the front door, but also in front of the window in the living room, bedroom, study room or kitchen. When people place a window panel in the windowsill, the panel is not just a stunning window decoration but it also offers a certain degree of privacy from outsiders. This way, a Tiffany panel is both practical and decorative. Have a look at the category Wall/Window decorations to view all Tiffany suncatchers and Tiffany window panels.
