1920’s Lampshade Restore

The jar that was turned into a lamp has markings on the bottom 1890 and 1915. The lampshade was created in 1920 for the jar.

The original shade was a deep coral shantung silk, lined with white silk. The original shade was completely hand sewn as well as the restored shade.

One of the most challenging shades I have restored! The wire frame, including the chimney top was all attached. Typically the crown is separate and the shade is done in two parts.
