A-Frame Hard Shell Lampshade Restored

There are a pair of these shades.  The new cover is Beige Homespun Linen.  This A-frame lampshade is a modern style  and seemed to be a trend in the late 90’s.

Even though it looks simple, the arc can be tricky.  The dimensions are 7″ x 22″ x 13″

I started tearing these shades down before I took a picture of the original, so I just tacked one together for a picture.  One of the things I see on many shades;   the trim that is run down the shade like a stripe.   My customer did not want the stripe on the restored shades but asked if there was something I could do to dress it up.  I used a very fine creme soutache trim around the top and bottom that will match the beautiful creme ceramic vases.  It is a very quiet but stylish accent.

I see quite a few of these a-frames. The fabric laminated shade can take high watts but will cause the shade to yellow and crack.   I believe the cone shape of the shade and the concentrated heat from the bulb causes a shorter life expectancy for the lampshade.
