Today, I broke my mother's Tiffany lamp from the 1920's. Practically crying, I raced onto the computer to try to find one to order before she comes back in three weeks. The lamp is worth over twelve thousand dollars, and the only way I'm getting one is if I lived 90 years ago. FML

Clarification: I broke the lamp by complete accident. I was vaccuming my living room and I caught the edge of the vaccuum on the end of the coffee table, and the light went crashing to the ground. I did tell my mom, and she was initially upset, but the lamp itself didn't have any sentimental value, making the situation a bit better. It was a vintage lamp she got at an auction in France. Thank you for your concerns and comments, haha, I've learned my lesson.

You broke a TIFFANY lamp, a Louis Comfort Tiffany lamp, you have no idea how valuable those are. I would kill to get my hands on one of those babies. These in my opinion are one of the most iconic things to come out of the Arts & Craft/Art Nouveau period of the 1920's. To the people saying you can just glue it back together, you have no idea how that would destroy the beautiful stained glass design of the lamp.
