Vintage Fringe Victorian Lampshade, Recover / Restore, PA

This Vintage Victorian Lampshade is my current restoration project.   This beautiful frame has a slender chimney top and flares out to a scallop with a drop cuff.  The ivory shade cover is trimmed with a brassy gold trim and fringe.

The liner appears to have been cut out.  I am sure the shredding liner was removed to keep the shade safe to continue to use.  The top spider wire dives eight (8) inches into the the lampshade frame.  I like to see this on a chimney frame because it allows the bulb to not sit in the narrow part of the lampshade.

The brassy golden trim is in good condition.  I will remove the original trim and try to reuse it on the new cover.   Dust has settled into the crevices of the trim.  I am going to rinse the trim and see how it holds up.
