This Chimney Lamp Shade is a favorite. Each panel features beautiful sprays of native wild flowers, making it a charming addition to any urban or country setting. Perfect for lamps with a glass chimney, the shade does not require a holder, as the ring fitter easily slides down and rests on the chimney-neck. Chimney shades are a vintage style, that has been used to update oil lamps since the early 1900's.
Our Parchment Lampshades are expertly crafted and very difficult to make. Each requires skillful craftsmanship, attention to detail and many hours of hand-work to create. The process starts by stabilizing the parchment paper with hard white buckram. This is a coarse linen lining that provides added strength to each lampshade panel. The tedious work is then attaching the parchment to a hand-crafted, rust resistant metal frame. Once assembled gold binding is applied by hand, accenting the individual patterns displayed on each panel. Made in America
This vintage style chimney lampshade has been produced in the same traditional manner for more than 60 years. Best of all, it is still Made in USA
