Victorian Fringe Lampshade Repair, Restored. The pictures speak for themselves. This is a pair of Crown Victorian fringed shades repaired with charmeuse silk. I used the original trim on these restored shades.

Removing the original trim to use on newly restored shades is a tedious service. But it is so worth it! It takes time and patience to remove the trim without damaging it and believe me, some trims seem like they are cemented onto the shade.
I used only a lint roller to clean the trim. The trim cleaned up just beautiful.
