CUSTOM LAMPSHADE RESTORED FOR VINTAGE LAMP, OHIO

My client has a  large brass ornate lamp base that did not have a lampshade.  It is very difficult to match a shade to a lamp with no shade.  I had this lampshade frame in house.

My customer brought the material they wanted to use for a shade for this base.  The fabric was a very gorgeous silk olive green shantung.  Their silk fabric has so much texture.  What a beautiful accent light.

I used a creme silk charmeuse for the liner.  The creme gives green a warm effect when the light is on.
