Antique Floor Lamp with Bell Shade. The shade sits on a floor lamp with a globe and 3 cluster bulbs around the globe. This antique shade was badly stained and the liner shredding from old age.
The lampshade wire was rusting. The rust works its way through the fabric and show visible . The rusting wire had to be cleaned and treated to be able to reuse the original frame.

Antique Bell Shade with a Shredding Liner
The cover and liner had to be completely replaced.
The original trim is ivory with gold and silver accents to coordinate with the lamp base. I did not think I would be able to reuse the original trim because it was so badly discolored. To my surprise, the inside of the trim was in excellent condition. I could not have been more pleased. I am passionate about saving trim that I know I cannot replace with todays market trims.
