The Antique Bell Lampshade sits on a floor lamp. The original cover was very deteriorated and hard to tell if it was actually ivory or gold. Usually you can tell the original color of fabric under the trim, but that was not the case on this old lampshade. The liner was most definitely gold.

My customer wanted an ivory cover with a gold liner. I used an ivory charmeuse silk for the cover and gold charmeuse silk for the liner. It is a beautiful warm golden light.

I was able to save the original trim. The original trim is old gold with metallic gold accents. The old trims are absolutely beautiful and impossible to duplicate. I was very pleased to be able reuse a piece of the original antique lampshade.
