Florida Lampshade Restored for Vintage Swing-Arm Lamp

Vintage swing arm lamps are particularly nice beside a chair.  They typically sit on a globe and have an arm extension that is adjustable.

Vintage Swing-Arm Lamp with Original Shade

 

The original cover was shredding.  The wire was also rusting and needed treated and painted before even starting the fabric restoration.  If you do not treat a rusting wire, the rust will work its way through the fabric and turn orange.

The restored shade has an ivory silk charmeuse cover.  The trim is the original braided trim.  The gold accents did not really show on the original shade but really stood out when applied to the new cover.  The beaded trim was trim my customer took off candlelight shades.
