Vintage Scallop Bell Lampshade, Repaired, Recovered, Restored

This scallop bell lampshade was stored away for years.  The lampshade originally had a swirl brocade cover.

Antique Bell Brocade Lampshade

 

The bell lampshade sits on a torch floor lamp.  A torch floor lamp has a large center globe with three cluster light fittings around the globe.

The shade was manufactured.  Staples were used to secure the fabric.

Splitting Lampshade Cover

 

The trim was similar to a chenille.  I tried to clean the trim to be reused, but was not able to restore it.    The vintage trim looked dull and dirty after it air dried.

The new lampshade cover is a beige Charmeuse Silk.  The trim is new but  maintained a vintage look.
