This is one of two Victorian Crown lampshades that are progress. There are many styles and shapes of Victorian Crown Shades. The shape of the lampshade frames are so elegant and shapely. They are so specific in style, as to say, there is nothing “Contemporary” about them.
Original Crown Victorian Lampshade
This shade belongs to a couple in which the gentleman loves the victorian style but the lady is traditional / contemporary. They have asked me to restore the shade but without the 6” fringe. Removing the fringe from this shade drastically reduces the depth and finished look on this shade.
Crown Victorian Silk Lampshade Repair with No Trim
We agreed to restore this shade but not to complete the bottom edge until we see how the lampshade looks on the lamp base. This is the restored silk lampshade without any trim.
Tomorrow is our appointment to see how the shade looks on the original lamp base without the fringe. I will post updates as the shade draws to a finished project.
