KNOB CREEK ACCORDION PLEATED LAMPSHADE RESTORED, REPLACED PLASTIC LINER

The liner of this Knob Creek accordion pleated lampshade has a plastic liner.  These vintage lampshades endure years of light bulb heat.  The styrene liner gets brittle and cracks.  This shade came to me in a box.  These are the pieces!   I removed any left over plastic liner from the inside of the shade […]

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, […]

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 […]

This is a large scalloped top and bottom lampshade.  The liner and cover were both damaged.  Shade liners and covers deteriorate over time.   Not only does the fabric deteriorate, but the covered wires can have rust damage even though no rust signs are obvious.               This shade had […]

These two lampshades had shredding liners.  The trim was removed, the liners replaced and the original trim was re-attached.  The bell shade is a Kichler shade.  Kichler lampshades are quality frames and covers.  The liners deteriorate from light exposure.  The lampshade, with the fringe around the top, was not marked but was a very nice […]

Antique Lamp with Adjustable Lampshade, Liner Repair

While I was repairing the liner of this antique pleated lampshade, I could not figure out what kind of fitting held this lampshade on the lamp, or even what the lamp base looked like.  I knew it was vintage.  As promised, my customer sent me pictures of the lamp in its entirety.  What an absolutely […]
