Custom Lamp Shades

Our lampshade frames and hoops are recycled. This enables us to make good use of old styles and sizes. We can customize shades to fit any lamp. Hand painting, leather work, layered applique, as well as duplication of antique shades and designs.

High Quality Finials

Available in a variety of shapes and finishes.

Lampshade Repair & Restoration

Please consider the conservation of old original shades when ever possible. We love a challenge. Original old paper shades are usually damaged after being in use for fifty plus years. Crushed paper shades in most cases can be restored. Broken metal frames can be repaired as well as torn or missing sections. Lampshade relacing is also available.
