These rectangle lampshades sit on a chandelier. The shade fabric was splitting and the liners were damaged. The lampshade wires were solid and there was no rust.

I used a textured ivory fabric for the new cover. On chandelier lamps the liners are clearly exposed. I used an ivory silk to line the shades. Charmeuse silk liners are beautiful and a soft, warm accent, especially when you can see the liner clearly.
