Irwin Terry and Bill Campbell

Century Studios was founded in 1986 by Irwin Terry and Bill Campbell. After 20 years in downtown Minneapolis, Century Studios has moved to St. Paul, MN in May 2009. In over 22 years of business, we have created more than 650 reproduction Tiffany lamps that are featured in private collections worldwide. Our work is inspired by the exquisite design quality and craftsmanship of the original lamps produced by Tiffany Studios in New York from the 1890’s through the 1920’s. We have translated our intensive studies of original Tiffany pieces into the museum-quality reproduction Tiffany lamps available at Century Studios today.

Using accurate patterns, forms and only the finest American-made glass, each piece we create is approached individually from a fine art perspective. After studying painting, printmaking and a variety of artistic media, Irwin and Bill earned BFA degrees from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1983. Combining our professional arts training and our natural artistic abilities, we offer clients a unique opportunity to own a beautifully crafted piece of functional, decorative art. In addition to our personal obsession with detail and design accuracy, we each have a strong natural aptitude for color that has been finely honed through working with glass for more than 22 years.

Tiffany surrounded himself with fine designers who created most of his famous lamp patterns. Based in nature, these lamp designs become more than just lighting fixtures — the intricate glass patterns, combined with handworked bronze bases, form luminescent sculptures that capture both the natural world and the viewer's imagination. At Century Studios, we offer our clients a chance to step back in time and re-visit Tiffany Studios as it was at the height of its creative zenith. When you visit to our retail showroom and workshop we will be happy to show you examples of completed lamps as well as whatever projects we currently have in production. Clients today can purchase completed works from our retail showroom or can order pieces that will be customized to blend with an existing decorating color scheme, a luxury unavailable on the antique market. Lamps by Century Studios are all artist signed and have been shipped to collectors across the country and around the world.
