Sweetheart Antique Lamp Base with Restored Silk Shade

 

This is not only a SWEETHEART Lamp but the proceeds will be donated to a local animal rescue organization “Not Too Tabby” (Woozez) in Canton, Ohio.  Not Too Tabby has a resale shop to help raise funds to spay, neuter and rescue animals in our local area.  They also take in animals that have been left at the door who need medical attention.  

I cannot think of a more precious gift for all.    This lamp is in auction on Ebay. 

The lamp base was a donation without a lampshade.  I fitted a shade to the original harp on the ceramic lamp base.  The base is in mint condition.  There are no chips or cracks of any kind.

There are no markings on the base to indicate when it was made.  I suspect it to be from the 50”s 60’s era.  The closest similar lamps I could find were in the “Andy Griffith Show.”

The lampshade frame is a “Classic By Diane” quality frame.  I used cream charmeuse silk for the shade cover.  The trim on the top has a rose trim underneath a sage green and ecru trim.  The rose shows up when the light is on.

LAMP SIZE:  This is a small boudoir lamp.  The higher it sits, the prettier the lamp is.  On a tall chest or shelf, it is absolutely beautiful.   I also think it would be so pretty as a light on a step landing going up to an upstairs.

Thank you for your interest in “Helping Our Furry Friends” and “Saving Our Lighting Heritage.”  This lamp is a win win and just in time for “Valentines Day.”
