Nouveau style lamp

this one has the same cap.  I'm assuming all the value lies in the shades, not really the bases...

I think you may be right there marcy. Did a search on 'reverse painted lamp shades' and came up with these.....

Hi Marcy,
That was my experience, and the prices over there, for replacement shades, certainly seem to be a little more reasonable than the ones I found from retailers over here. But with me, as you will recall, patience paid off and we picked up a beautiful one dirt cheap. As it happens, when I found them in the charity shop, the table lamp shade came with a very ugly lamp, and the ceiling shades also came with a 'newish' chandelier .. I'm not sure whether they were pleased or not when I paid for them but told them I only wanted the glass shades.

hmmmmmm....that's giving me some ideas...being an artist and all....would love to replace the shade.....

Keen to hear what they are ....
What sort of medium do you work in?

[marcylove]

I do mainly acrylic work, mural  paintings and pet portraits.  But I 've been doing graphic design for the past 17 years.

I can see that a talented lass such as yourself might just come up with some keen ideas!
