White Linen Chimney Lampshades are a unique design used on lamps which have a glass chimney. This design eliminates the need for a shade holder, as the ring fitter easily slides down and rests on the chimney-neck. Chimney shades are used on many oil lamps from the 1800's. The crisp white hue seamlessly blends with any color palette. Additionally, white is an optimal choice for a lamp shade color due to its ability to emit excellent lighting when illuminated.
These lamp shades are made of a white linen. The linen has a plain relaxed weave displaying a lightly textured appearance similar to homespun. Rust resistant frame has harp ring at top center with v notches in support arms. Shade-panels are lined with hard white buckram to insure stability. Top, bottom and sides are bound in same white linen. Made in USA.
