The use of Capiz shells (mother of pearl) instead of stained glass was introduced around 1910 by the Long Island artist Walter Cole Brigham (1870-1941). He developed the so-called copper foil soldering technique and followed the tradition developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) around 1900. This hanging lamp has many dozens of handmade mother of pearl panes. They spread a very romantic and atmospheric light. The lamp can also be used as a floor lamp with your own tripod.
