Gorgeous fluted vintage chiffon lampshade
Gorgeous fluted vintage chiffon lampshade
This lovely shade harks back from we believe the early part of the twentieth century, and has the most wonderful shaped frame - a fluted oval daisy frame which are very hard to find. The fabric is a warm khaki chiffon, and as it has been lined with silvery green satin, is is wonderful when lit. It has an extravagant braid around the top ring, and a lovely tassel braid around the base. The fitting is a UK one for table or desk lamp bases.
Vintage condition - there are issues with this shade - on one side there are snags to the chiffon, a stain and little marks. On the other side though it is fine! inside the lining is torn in a few places (please see images) but this is not noticeable when lit. It needs careful handling but that is only a reflection of its great age and pedigree! It is a wonderful example of vintage interior lighting.
