DIRK VAN ERP (1859-1933). Van Erp immigrated from Holland to San Francisco in 1886. Van Erp's lamps consisted of hammered copper bases and shades of translucent mica (also called isinglass) treated with shellac to give them an amber cast. He arrived at his extraordinary handmade designs through a slow process of trial and error. He later sold them through craft shops and fairs. The positive reception to them encouraged him to give up his job and to open the Copper Shop in 1908. The lamps that he began to market around 1911 were immediately successful.

Every Meyda Tiffany item is a unique, handcrafted work of art. At Meyda Tiffany, they pledge to achieve the highest standards of quality craftsmanship and design.
