This is a genuine antique, remarkably well preserved parlor lamp shade.It has retained most all of the original glass bead work, that has a floral and arched pattern. The wire arched framework covered in a Dusty Rose or Old Rose silk fabric with shirred panels and embroidered panels with a brocade appearance. There is also a pale pink or flesh colored silk lining. The shade Measures 14" wide x 7-½" deep, measuring across the wire frame at the widest parts. The frame alone is 8¼" tall. The beaded fringe is 5¾" long, making the shade itself a total of 14" in height. The top of the wire frame has a 1¾" wide circular opening.Condition: The beaded fringe count is well over 100. There are a few (approximately 9-12) that are missing however the overall appearance is full, as pictured. There are several silk panels that are torn and frayed from age deterioration. They can be replaced by someone skilled in the art of restoration, or the shade may be used 'as is' for the trendy 'shabby' look. The ribbon trim and lace are both entirely intact with no tears or rips that I can find. The silk interior lining has one tear and a few minor stains that do not go through to the outside fabric. The wire frame is sturdy with no breaks. I'm assuming the colors of the fabric have faded and or darkened over time from exposure to dust and the elements. There read more
