It was priced to me @ $6.00 per each piece of cut and shaped glass in the shade (which some aficionado's consider a bargain price for this lamp) and I was told that it would take 6-8 weeks to custom make this lamp for me and that it would also require shipping charges to ship it from Europe. Because of my experience in the business, I know that there are exactly 1,332 pieces of glass in the 26" Tiffany #1902 ORIENTAL POPPY Shade. So, if you multiply the 1.332 pieces of glass X $ 6.00 for each piece you wind up investing $ 7,992.00 in the shade alone. Add to that price the cost for the Large Bronze Senior Piano Floor Lamp Base #377 of $ 4,250 and add to that the cost of $200.00 to electify the lamp base and you wind up investing over $12,400.00 in this beautiful 26Ó REPLICA TIFFANY ORIENTAL POPPY FLOOR LAMP - and you still have to pay the tab for American Customs and to have it shipped from Sweden. AT "THE TIFFANY LAMP STUDIO", WE STOCK AND SELL THE VERY SAME LAMP (LT2601-LB1703) FOR $2,275.00, (incredible - but, true) PROVIDING A CUSTOMER SAVINGS OF OVER $10,000.00+ ON THIS ONE LAMP ALONE and you can order your lamp with whatever colors of Poppys you wish and the building time is the same 6-8 weeks. KNOWING THIS, WHY WOULD ANYONE PAY MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO......... 20th Century Lighting News Sat, 30 Apr 2005 14:10:00 EST To be represented as a true REPLICA TIFFANY LAMP, a REPLICA TIFFANY LAMP MUST MEET THE FOLLOWING SIX (6) CRITERIA: 1) The lamp must be made of the same types of American Made Art and Opalescent Glass that Tiffany used; 2) The lamp must follow Tiffany's Original Pattern Layouts with precision adherence to glass shape, glass size and glass colors; 3) The lamp must be built on it's own Tiffany sized and shaped shade form that is unique to the pattern of shade being built; 4) Each piece of the lamp glass must be foiled and soldered by the same method that Tiffany used to assemble his original lamps; 5) The final shade must match Tiffany's original shade in design, color, shape, size, construction and appearance. 6) The shade must be placed on a REPLICA TIFFANY BRONZE LAMP BASE, sized and matched to each shade, exactly like an original Tiffany Lamp. FYI: To construct a real REPLICA TIFFANY SHADE requires between three to seven weeks filled with six days/week at 8-12 hours per day. It is not unusual for an Elaborate REPLICA TIFFANY SHADE to take over 300 man hours to construct from beginning to end..... 20th Century Lighting News Sat, 30 Apr 2005 14:32:00 EST WHAT GOES INTO MAKING A LEADED "STAINED GLASS" LAMP INTO A "REPLICA TIFFANY LAMP" ??:
