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. This frame has a 1/2" ring in the center top of shade to fit onto a harp shade holder. Once shade is assembled gold binding is applied by hand, accenting the individual patterns displayed on each panel. Made in America

A Harp Lamp Shade is used on most Table Lamps and an occasional Floor Lamp

• To use this style, the lamp must have a harp shade holder. A harp is a upside down U-shaped metal support with a small threaded post at top.
• Lamp shades of this type have a washer-like ring fitter in top center of shade with a 7/16" diameter hole.
• Harps are available in a variety of heights. Most are removable and easily switched  to a different size if the shade needs to be raised or lowered.
• The washer like fitter in top of shade slips over the threaded post on top of harp. It is then secured by a lamp finial that screws down onto treaded post.
