Lamp Shade Repair & Restoration

                     
This Victorian lamp shade was restored for Don in Las Vegas, NV

Do you have an antique lamp shade that needs new fabric but you can't bear to part with it because it goes with your lamp? Or has your modern shade seen better days? Candy can restore or recover the old shade so it sparkles once again. All antique lamp shades, Victorian lamp shades and modern shades are made with traditional hand sewing techniques

Lamp shade repair can be made with similar fabric and trim and the original materials can be used whenever possible. Antique lamp shades can be recovered in a modern fabric that is similar to the original covering or changed to whatever fabric and color you like. 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.

You can usually restore or recover the original frame. Frames beyond repair can be manufactured to match the original. And many popular shade frames are still sold today to companies that specialize in lamp shade repair and restoration.


This 1920's scalloped lamp shade was originally white and wore out over time. 


This Crab lamp shade matched the antique lamp when it was purchased in the 1920's.

Dear Candy, the lamp shade arrived in perfect condition. The fabric is a perfect match to the base.
We so appreciate your expertise and know you spent hours and hours
completing the piece. Thanks, again. M.C., California



This unusual shade with slanted pleats on both the outside and inside needed Candy's expertise for total restoration.


This Pagoda lamp shade was originally made of cardboard. The shade was lined and recovered with a Chinese red satin.


Restored Early American style shade from the 1960's

The lamp shade arrived yesterday, on schedule, and it is beautiful! The lamp is finally complete once again and it looks 50 years younger! The fabric is very, very nice.
I like how you did the chimney top with the pleats. I can see that it was a lot of work with all the hand stitching. My husband and I are very pleased.
The lamp shade is very elegant yet fits perfectly into our informal home. Thank you so much. We have enjoyed doing business with you.     R.B., Milford, OH

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.

This large Coolie lamp shade from around 1900 was in serious need of repair. The fabric had disintegrated and the frame was falling apart.
The frame was restored, a beautiful brocade lining was added, and the shade was recovered with a Donna Karen designer silk charmeuse.


    

This Bell lamp shade required an extensive restoration. The "crown" was separated from the base shade and
the two-piece frame was restored before the shade was recovered and trimmed.

I received my lamp shade today.  It far exceeded my expectations. My daughters and
every one that has seen my lamp shade say what a wonderful job you did. Thank you so much.
