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.
  • The lamp harp height determines placement of lamp shade. It affects the lamp's overall proportions.  A recommended harp height is provided under the size tab for each shade.  When ordering it is best to check your lamp's harp size as a different height may be optimal. Harps are available in a variety of sizes and most are easily changed if the shade needs to be raised or lowered to enhance the lamp's appearance. 
  • 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.

Material & Finish

Our Amber Mica Shades use a centuries-old technique of laminating mica flakes and crystals together with shellac or resin. These naturally occurring minerals come in various colors. They are known for being heat-resistant and non-conductive, making them perfect for use in lighting. Once made, these mica sheets are carefully wrapped around a rust-resistant, brown metal frame. The mica top, bottom, and sides are bound in dark brown braided trim. The braid displays a faux leather appearance.

Made on a rust resistant metal frame with a 1/2" ring in the center. This ring slips over harp post and sits on shade rest. It is secured by a lamp finial.
