How to Make Victorian Lamp Shades

This change became the catalyst for a variety of lamp shades made to shield the glaring light bulbs.


Shade frames can usually be recovered or new ones purchased. An antique frame is stripped, covered with rust-retardant and recovered. Over the years, a large variety of styles were designed.
