You’ve finally found the perfect lamp base, (and we all know a good lamp base is hard to find!), now, only the perfect lamp shade will suffice. Size, shape and proportion need to be carefully considered, with colour and choice of fabric following close behind.
The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co produces a superb range of custom, hand made, classic lampshades with all sorts of treatments. Soft or bonded, plain, gathered, ruffled, crosshatching, knife pleats, box pleats, pinch pleats, pleats on pleats! in fact, just about any treatment you can think of in luxurious silk or perhaps a pure Irish linen.
After a suitable look has been selected a touch of passementerie may be called for and now we really can go anywhere as the choice of beautiful trims, tassels and decorative finishes are almost limitless! Passementerie has been used in one form or another for thousands of years so it has certainly stood the test of time and is just the trick when it comes to a style fix!
Once the right trim has been agonized over you may wish to complete the look with a finial. Finials are the lampshade world’s “bling” for table lamps! and just like passimenterie, the selection is vast.
The choice may seem somewhat daunting at first but an experienced shade maker, with the wealth of the textile world at her fingertips, should be able to make some stylish suggestions. The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co’s shade maker has been doing just this for many years and would be pleased to extend her ideas and expertise, so there really is no excuse now not to have the best dressed lamp in town!
The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co specialise in antique table lamp lighting with an on-line range of over 100 unique, antique and vintage lamps on view.
Lamps are shipped ready wired for the U.S, the U.K and Australia.
