LAMPSHADE LINER REPLACED, SHADE RESTORED, OHIO
This lampshade liner was shredding and falling inside the lampshade near the light bulb. My client removed the lampshade liner just to hold onto her lamp. It was purchased to match her decor and she did not want to replace the lamp, just repair the shade. I replaced the liner and, as always, […]
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 […]
Bell Lampshade Complete Restore, Recover
This shade looks like a simple repair, but actually, the arc of the shade can be difficult, but not as troublesome as the aluminum lampshade frame! The liner of this lampshade was completely intact, but the cover was falling apart panel by panel. Most unusual. The lampshade wire was aluminum, which I thought was […]
A-FRAME PLEATED LAMPSHADE LINER REPLACED, REPAIRED, Cleveland, Ohio
The liner of this A-frame pleated lampshade was brittle and starting to split. The heat from standard light bulbs will quickly damage the liners of these contemporary tunnel lampshades. The heat concentrates in the top of the shade and causes damage. I strongly advise people to use eco-friendly bulbs in these shades. I was able […]

Lampshade Liners Replaced: Restored Lighting, Fabric Shades
Lampshade liners repaired on vintage moire shades. The liners of the 2 shades were shredding. The liner would rip when you touched it, often due to high watt bulbs. The A-frame structure of these shades does not allow the heat to escape and causes the liners to get brittle. Always use eco friendly lighting in […]

Vintage Pleated Victorian Lampshade, Restore, Recovered, Repaired
I have seen quite a few victorian crown lampshades over the years. This particular victorian crown shade was different from most of the vintage shades I see. The center of the shade wires were not arched and the center shade was pleated. The structured pleated center gave the lampshade a more modern look. The […]
