Silk Lampshades for Antique Lamps

Along with so many traditional arts and crafts, the art of lampshade making has almost slipped away and just like a custom made garment, a quality, antique, table lamp calls for a lampshade of the same standing.

In the demanding world of high end interior design, a lampshade must be fitted proportionally and exactly as an inch or two the wrong way can make or break a look.  Carefully measured, hand made work guarantees the harmonious marriage between lamp base and shade.

Lampshades can be made in many materials with silk being the fabric of choice. For the ultimate in luxury furnishings, silk can also be used to line a shade ensuring a professional and polished finish.  This sumptuous textile is available in an almost endless array of colours and is the last word in elegance and refinement.

The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co provide a complete shade design service with every detail discussed, from the choice of finial down to the colour of the frame wire.

A full range of shade styles are available in any shape.  Soft or bonded, knife, box or diamond pleated, ruffling effects or for something really spectacular, a double tiered shade to show off an exquisite oriental lamp.  The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co has a reputation for striking original designs specifically tailored to their one-of-a-kind table lamps.

                                   

The art of hand stitched lampshade making is alive and well at The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co!
