Slightly Belled Lampshade Restored with Cottonwood Fabric Finish
Completely restored lampshade. Cottonwood fabric finish.
I did not get a picture of the original, but it was a pleated muslin fabric. The liner was gone and the cover was deteriorating.
This shade sits on a lamp base that has 2 bulbs that sit horizontally. Standard light bulbs sit close to the fabric and cause damage. I have order socket reducers that allow the use of a candlelight bulb. The candlelight bulbs come in as large as 60 watts but are smaller in size.
For a lamp base that has horizontal bulbs, socket reducer adapters and candlelight bulbs are less damaging and safer.
