LAMPSHADE RECOVER, REPAIR, RESTORE

This small narrow drum lampshade yellowed over time.  The hard shell cover cracked and the trim was falling off.  The rose velvet trim was taking on a new color and the delicate metallic trim lost its glow.

Small Drum Linen Lampshade Original

 

I restored the shade with an Anna Marie Linen.  The hard shell material used to recover these type of shades is called fabric laminated styrene.  The Anna Marie Linen is a customer favorite.

Restored Small Drum Linen Lampshade with Rose Velvet Trim

 

I replaced the rose velvet trim and used a very delicate metallic gold trim to outline the velvet.

I try to restore as close as possible to the original design.
