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.

This shade is made on a metal frame that has a tripod like spider in of shade. The tripod arms have v-notches to be used with a reflector shade or it can be used with a harp as it also has a 1/2" ring in the center top of shade to fit onto a harp shade holder.

Lamp Shade for Large Table Lamps and Reflector Floor Lamps

• To use this style, the lamp must have a harp shade holder or a glass reflector to support shade. A Harp is a upside down U-shaped metal support with a small threaded post at top. A glass reflector shade has a large open top.
• Lamp shades of this type have a washer-like ring fitter in top center of shade with a 7/16" diameter hole and
  V-notches in 3 arm frame at top of shade.
• The shade sit on the lamp in one of two ways.
• 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.
• Or, the shade sits on a reflector shade. The v-notches in the top of the shade frame go on either side of shade wall to hold shade in place.
