Contemporary Vintage 1950’s Oval Lampshade Restored

This oval lampshade belongs to a vintage 1950’s contemporary lamp base.   The oval lampshade was in need of repairs.  The original shade was in great condition, but the fabric was starting to get brittle and split.

I removed all the fabric from the lampshade frame and there were only 4 vertical wires.  There were no supporting wires on the oval part of the frame.  Most unusual and making the restore more of a challenge.

My customer chose a white textured fabric for the new cover.  The “icicle”  cover fabric was a perfect fit for this vintage lamp.

The lamp base is a milky glass ceramic with metallic gold accents on a brass pedestal attached to a square marble base.

This lamp is a CLASSIC!

Many “thanks” to my customer who was very appreciative and kind enough to send pictures of the lamp with the restored shade.
