We received our custom lamp shade and it looks beautiful! The workmanship is very impressive and both my husband and I thought it was just right. I love the layered chiffon and the black fringe, too. It really makes the elegant bridge lamp look even more beautiful. The cream lace is so visually gripping, and you did such a great job sewing in the lining. We've wanted a lamp shade for so long and we feel really lucky to have found such a good designer!

Candy pays special attention to details to restore and recover shades like this pair of  1920's Stovepipe heirlooms.

The lamp shades arrived yesterday. They are beautiful! My mom really loves them. You did a wonderful job! The material is so much like the original that it is like going back in time.

What if your shade is not an antique but it needs lamp shade repair? High wattage bulbs, moving and accidents can cause serious damage. It seems that no matter how hard you try to find a replacement in a store or on the internet, you just can't find the size or shape you are trying to replace. That's where Candy can help you by recovering your modern shade.



Do you have antique lamps with shades that have seen better days? Do you have a lamp that is a family heirloom and you want to find someone that is familiar with antique and Victorian lamp shades and does quality lamp shade repair? Look no further. Candy's specialty is lamp shade repair and restoration. To restore and recover a shade requires an expert familar with complex hand sewing techniques.

Vintage shades can be recovered in a modern fabric that is similar to the original covering or changed to whatever fabric and color you like. Frames beyond repair can usually be duplicated and old metal frames can often be restored before recovering. Choose from domestic or imported fabrics. Add lace, hand pleating, chiffon rosettes or burn-out velvet for that antique look. Or choose a style that reflects more traditional lamp shades. Fabric and fringe can be dyed almost any color you desire.
