Floor Lamp Shades from Hannah Murphy

  Lampshade makers are passionate about their craft.  There is no end to the creativity that can be expressed in a custom hand-sewn lampshade.   I've heard it said that lamps and lighting are usually the last thing a new home owner thinks about.  Even if you're not a new home owner, a brand new feeling will emerge just changing lampshades on your existing lamps. 

     Many of you have cherished old family heirloom lamps that have been around for generations, and you want to re-create the nostalgic feeling of days gone by.  Whether you have a valuable antique lamp, or a recent acquisition, just knowing a lampshade has been made especially for your lamp makes it special.    Hannah's custom-made lampshades will become heirlooms by themselves!   

     She uses only the finest materials available, meticulous needlework, and fabrics, colors, and trims you select.   We have over 3,000 lampshade frames in stock - all sizes, shapes and styles.   Call for a free consultation with Hannah regarding re-covering and restoration of old lampshades or new lampshades for table lamps, floor lamps, and bridge lamps.     We also carry an extensive inventory of repair parts for old lamps, so if you have an old lamp drifting in the attic that needs to be updated, contact us.   Check the link called "Lamp Parts & Lamp Hardware Index".   Custom-made floor lamp shades range from $189 on up, depending on fabrics and trims you select.

 Current estimated completion: 5 - 6 weeks.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

Most floor lamp shades are made with Reflector Fitter wires that rest on the top edge of an opal glass bowl.  The top wires have little "humps" that fit over the edge of either an 8" or 10" bowl, and looks like this:

Antique frame, covered here with Burn-out Velvet, lace, and silk chiffon hand pleats - all custom dyed to blend.   Double lined, with 6-inch chainette fringe.    We were happy when our frame maker faithfully reproduced this frame for us although it was a difficult and expensive proposition!
