Authentic Copperfoil Artisanship
Each glass shade is composed of individually hand-cut art glass pieces wrapped in copperfoil and meticulously hand-soldered by master artisans, building timeless lighting heirlooms.
Meyda Tiffany Lighting was born when founder Meyer Cohen was asked by his wife Ida to construct a stained glass window for their home. What began as an artisan passion by a master craftsman and visionary businesswoman quickly expanded into America's premier custom decorative lighting manufacturer. Today, Meyda operates under family leadership across a 180,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility in Yorkville, New York.
Meyda Lighting manufactures one of the world's most comprehensive collections of handcrafted stained glass lamps, architectural fixtures, and decorative art panels using authentic copperfoil construction techniques.
