Book Your Liverpool WorkshopWhat is a Turkish Mosaic Lamp?
A Turkish mosaic lamp is a handcrafted lighting piece made by carefully placing hundreds of small coloured glass tiles and beads onto a glass globe or cylinder. Once illuminated, the lamp casts intricate, jewel-like patterns of light across walls and ceilings, creating an atmosphere that feels both ancient and magical.
These lamps are also known as Turkish lanterns, mosaic lanterns, or simply Turkish lights. You may have seen them in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, in Turkish restaurants, or hanging in stylish living rooms across the UK. Behind every single one is centuries of craftsmanship.
The History of Turkish Mosaic Lamps
The tradition of Turkish mosaic lamps stretches back to the Ottoman Empire, where artisans first began combining the local arts of stained glass, mosaic tile work, and metalwork to produce lighting pieces fit for palaces, mosques, and the homes of wealthy Istanbul families.
The peak of the craft came during the 16th to 19th centuries, when Ottoman master craftsmen developed the techniques that are still used today. Each lamp was built piece by piece, using coloured glass imported from Murano and Bohemia, mirror fragments to amplify the light, and intricate metal bases hammered by hand. No two lamps were ever the same.
After the Ottoman period, the art was kept alive in small family workshops, particularly around the historic neighbourhoods of Sultanahmet and the Grand Bazaar. In recent decades, Turkish mosaic lamps have travelled across the world, and workshops like ours bring this living heritage to cities such as Liverpool, Manchester, London, and Birmingham.
"A Turkish mosaic lamp is not just a light. It is a living memory of Istanbul, of bazaars and lantern-lit streets, brought into your home one piece of glass at a time."
