Lace Sconce Lampshades, N. Canton, Ohio

There are two of these lace candlelight sconce lampshades.  They were very well constructed.  I have never seen so many tiny stitches in any shade. let alone such small shades.  The original lace covers was embroidered lace with a very tiny design.

I restored the candlelight shades using a technique where each panel is lined individually with a muslin fabric.  I prefer this method when restoring small shades because I am able to thoroughly fire retard the liner.

I covered the shades with an ivory silk and then recovered them with a small designed lace.  The silk shows between the top layer and bottom layer of lace.  They are very pretty with the light on or off.
