QUOIZEL LAMPSHADE LINER REPLACED, REPAIRED, RESTORED

Boudior Quoizel Lampshade liner removed, replaced with new liner and trimmed with original trim.  These very small lampshades are my favorite.  They are accent lights and need no more than a small night light bulb.

Lampshade Recovered, Vintage Victorian Crown Shade

Vintage Victorian Crown Lampshade Restored.  The victorian crown lampshades are so graceful and elegant shades.  The arcs and scalloped frames are like no other.  The vintage trim is beautiful.   Fabric deteriorates over time.  The liners, in particular, are subjected to intense heat.  The eco friendly bulbs, available today, will help the life expectancy of […]

Lampshade Liners Replaced: Restored Lighting, Fabric Shades

Lampshade liners repaired on vintage moire shades.  The liners of the 2 shades were shredding.  The liner would rip when you touched it, often due to high watt bulbs.  The A-frame structure of these shades does not allow the heat to escape and causes the liners to get brittle.  Always use eco friendly lighting in […]

Vintage Pleated Victorian Lampshade, Restore, Recovered, Repaired

I have seen quite a few victorian crown lampshades over the years.  This particular victorian crown shade was different from most of the vintage shades I see.  The center of the shade wires were not arched and the center shade was pleated.  The structured pleated center gave the lampshade a more modern look.   The […]
