The crown lampshade, made for a slag glass type lamp. This is a great alternative instead of a glass shade. I designed this shade using two different colors of gold dupioni silk. The lining is a stretch charmeuse silk, midlining and outer fabrics are both dupioni silks. I love the crinkled texture look, just like glass. I dyed the cuff lace a taupe tone and also used a vintage trim where the body of the shade meets the frame’s cuff. The lamp and shade are for sale separately. The lamp is a polychrome finish, slag glass style. Fortunately it still has the cap and finial!!! This shade will fit on a floor lamp also.

I just finished another lampshade with beaded heavy lace fabric, vintage trim, beaded trim, and vintage beaded tassels. I designed the shade around this incredible table lamp. It is a very heavy marble and bronze lamp with a gothic motif marked France on the metal on the base. The lining is silk charmeuse, midlining is dupioni silk, the middle panel is crinkle embroidered dupioni silk. The middle cuff has two midlinings so it lights up different than the lower cuff even though the beaded lace fabric covers the body and cuff panels. I designed the shade with two layers of beaded fringe as they both light up differently and add depth to the fringe layer. This frame is called the Apollos.

Simple but elegant, this shade is called Apollos. I designed it in a cream tone on tone damask with a cream rayon fringe using two trims. The ribbon trim is dyed cream and the other trim is a loopy lace motif trim. The lining is a cream silk charmeuse.

I have always loved finding old lampshade frames that are in good enough condition to recover. This frame I called the Lynette for my special customer that I recovered the frame for. The frame, because it was vintage, is no longer available; however I was delighted with the two shades I made from these old frame shapes. Both are made up in new fabrics: silks, embroidered silks, and silk I custom dyed along with a few trims I custom dyed and specialty trims.

These are photos of the Le Elegance. Most are custom orders, however I like this shade frame, so often I make it up for an upcoming antique show. I enjoy combining textures and design details, and often colors. I always want the fabrics to light up when the bulbs are lit, but never allowing the bulb to show through the fabrics. Often that is why the shades are lined, have a mid lining, and then the outer fabrics. This shape also is available in a table lamp size, making it versatile for customers’ needs. I have this bare wire frame available now for my next order or design project, this saves waiting for a frame to arrive and the shipping cost of ordering the frame.

Since 1994 I have been making lampshades, and over the years have made a lot of custom shades specifically for the customer’s decor and color choices. I also have made shades for myself and for antique shows where we specialize in vintage lighting with quality antique lamps paired with my shades. Some shades incorporate vintage fabrics and vintage trims, others are new silk fabrics and trims I may have custom dyed. The turban shade has a very unique shape with various panels and can be an interesting shade to design with multiple fabrics and design choices.

The Apollos shade has so many different possibilities in the shade design, in this one I used alot of vintage textiles and trims. The beaded overlay on the side panels, the beaded tasseled fringe, and the cream silk velvet are all vintage along with the horizontal trims. This size of frame is perfect for table lamps or bridge lamps, but I’ve also made the medium Apollos frame for bridge lamps and the large frame for floor lamps. I used double trims over the beaded fringe, a white trim with a loopy black trim overlay.
