Inspired by the Legendary Flying Lady Lamp

This exceptional table lamp draws inspiration from the celebrated Flying Lady figural lamp, an iconic design associated with the artistic transition from Art Nouveau to the early modern decorative movement at the turn of the 20th century.

Often associated with designs attributed to German artist and architect Peter Behrens around 1898, the Flying Lady is admired for its remarkable combination of sculptural form and decorative glass. Its graceful female figure appears to rise beneath a sweeping illuminated canopy, transforming the lamp into both a functional light and a dramatic work of decorative art.

The design captures the flowing lines and fascination with the human form characteristic of Art Nouveau. The elegant female figure, sweeping curves and richly coloured glass create a distinctive silhouette that remains immediately recognisable more than a century after designs of this type first appeared.

Joanne Tiffany Signature Collection

Flying Lady–Inspired Solid Bronze Table Lamp

Created as a tribute to this remarkable historic design, our Joanne Tiffany Signature Collection Flying Lady combines a dramatic handcrafted stained-glass shade with an imposing sculptural solid bronze base.

The sweeping shade is composed of individually selected pieces of richly coloured art glass in vibrant shades of ruby red, scarlet, amber and fiery orange. When illuminated, the glass comes alive with extraordinary warmth, revealing natural variations in colour and texture that give every lamp its own individual character.

The curved profile of the shade creates the impression of an illuminated canopy or a pair of sweeping wings, dramatically complementing the sculptural female figure beneath.

When switched off, the deeper tones and natural textures of the stained glass give the lamp a sophisticated decorative presence. When illuminated, the shade transforms into a glowing composition of intense reds, oranges and golden highlights.

Sculptural Solid Bronze Base

The extraordinary solid bronze base is an essential part of the Flying Lady design.

Rather than using a conventional central lamp column, the base takes the form of a graceful stylised female figure. Her elongated flowing form rises organically from the sculptural base and visually supports the sweeping stained-glass canopy above.

The folds and curves of the figure create a continuous sense of movement from the foot of the lamp to the illuminated shade. Viewed from different angles, the sculptural bronze work reveals changing contours and details, making the lamp equally impressive from the front, side and rear.

Finished with a rich antique-inspired patina, the bronze develops visual depth across its raised surfaces and recessed details, complementing the warmth of the illuminated glass.

Unlike ordinary Tiffany-style lamps made with resin or zinc-alloy bases, this Signature Collection piece features substantial solid bronze construction, giving the lamp exceptional weight, durability and an impressive heirloom-quality presence.

Handcrafted Stained-Glass Shade

The dramatic shade is handcrafted using the traditional Tiffany copper-foil technique.

Individual pieces of art glass are carefully selected for colour, translucency and texture before being precisely cut and shaped. Each piece is then wrapped in copper foil and assembled into the complex curved form of the shade before being soldered entirely by hand.

Because genuine art glass naturally varies from sheet to sheet, subtle differences in colour, texture and pattern are an inherent part of each lamp.

These variations are not imperfections. They are part of the character of genuine handcrafted stained glass and ensure that no two lamps are completely identical.

Pre-Order Only

This lamp is available exclusively by pre-order.

Each Joanne Tiffany Signature Collection Flying Lady lamp is individually handcrafted rather than mass-produced. The complex stained-glass canopy and sculptural bronze base require considerable time, specialised craftsmanship and careful finishing.

Every piece of stained glass is individually selected by experienced artisans to achieve the most harmonious balance of colour, texture and transmitted light.

The shade must then be cut, shaped, copper-foiled, assembled and soldered entirely by hand, while the substantial bronze base requires detailed casting, finishing and patination.

For this reason, production is intentionally limited, and each lamp is produced only after an order is placed.

Estimated Dispatch: Approximately 60 Days.

Sculpture, Stained Glass and Light in One Extraordinary Design

The Flying Lady is far more than a conventional table lamp.

Its remarkable character comes from the relationship between the glowing stained-glass canopy and the graceful bronze figure beneath it. Rather than treating the shade and base as separate components, the design brings them together as a single sculptural composition.

From the intense ruby and amber tones of the handcrafted glass to the sweeping lines of the female figure and substantial solid bronze construction, every element contributes to its dramatic presence.

The Joanne Tiffany interpretation allows collectors and design enthusiasts to enjoy the romantic spirit of this historic decorative design in a newly handcrafted lamp created for contemporary interiors.

Whether illuminated as atmospheric lighting or displayed unlit as a sculptural centrepiece, the Flying Lady commands attention from every angle.

With its hand-selected art glass, substantial solid bronze construction and exceptional handcrafted detail, this extraordinary lamp is intended to become a treasured feature of the home—and an heirloom for future generations.
