Scalloped Lampshade, Recover, Restore

This large scalloped lampshade was damaged while being transported to a new location.  The shade cover was getting weak from age and light exposure.

Scallop Lampshade Frame

The original shade had all the wires wrapped and the cover and liner were on the outside of the lampshade wire.  Inside the shade, you could see all the wrapped rib wires.

Rusted Lampshade Wire

As I was removing the fabric,

you could see the lampshade wire was starting to rust.

 

 

 

I treated the wire before replacing the fabric.  I did not wrap the wires.  I lined the inside of the lampshade instead.

The cover is a slub finish fabric indicative of vintage shades.
