Meyda Tiffany...The story
 
Thirty
years ago, Meyda Tiffany was founded when Meyer Cohen was asked by his
wife Ida (whose names were combined into the company name Meyda) to
build a stained glass window in their kitchen so they wouldn't have to
look at the vintage cars in their neighbor's driveway. What
began as a hobby evolved into America's leading and oldest manufacturer
of Tiffany stained glass.
More
than a decade ago, Meyda acquired Quality Bent Glass Company which
created original stained glass lamps and lighting fixtures, included in that purchase were
the famous Coca-Cola chandeliers. QBC supplied the fixtures to Tiffany
Studios in New York City, during the turn-of-the-century. Today, Meyda
utilizes QBG's original tools, molds and techniques to create stained
glass products.
In the mid-1990s, Meyda
purchased Mecco Art, a metal art studio, and utilizes its equipment and
manufacturing techniques to produce the Old Forge line of custom
crafted steel sculptured lighting and decor. The line, which features
original, natural and wildlife themes, includes lamps, chandeliers,
figurines, candleholders, towel racks, bookends, switch plates, coat
racks, napkin holders, log holders, fireplace screens, and other home
accents.
Today,
Meyda is still a family-run business, with Meyer and Ida's son, Robert,
at the helm. With dealers across the U.S. and Canada, Meyda offers an
extensive line of stained glass featuring thousands of styles- from
accent pieces to masterpieces.
Many
of Meyda's stained glass designs were inspired by the works of Louis
Comfort Tiffany, Dirk Van Erp, Gustav
Stickley, Philip Julius Handel, Pairpoint and Duffner
& Kimberly Studios, Charles
Rennie Mackintosh.
Some have been
handcrafted of copperfoil
and reverse-painted art glass, porcelain, jadestone, mica
(pdf), Contemporary
Metro fused glass, and other fine mediums. Others
were influenced by popular art movements: Arts
and Crafts, Prairie,
Lodge,
Mission, Victorian,
Nouveau,
Gothic,
Southwest, and Contemporary.
 
The firm's extensive
line includes stained glass Tiffany lamps and Tiffany floor
lamps,
Tiffany stained glass pendants,
Meyda Tifany Peacock flush mount, fused glass semi flush mounts, stained glass chandeliers, wall
sconces, stained glass panels, stained glass fireplace
screens,
