Custom Corset Lampshade
and Antique Cherub Lamp
This "One of a Kind" corset lampshade
with embroidered vintage style basket of flowers. This lovely lamp will go
with most any decor whether it be Victorian, Shabby Chic or Paris Apartment.
Can't you just see this wonderful lamp setting your romantic boudoir.
I really enjoy designing and creating
this lampshade. It brought back memories of when I made wedding dresses.
With the silk shantung ruche sides that look just a brides waist to the burnout
silk velvet bottom that form the hips you can just imagine it being a bride's
corset.
Both the shantung silk and velvet are
off white over the palest peach silk charmeuse. Front accents are tone on tone
ivory embroidered vintage style basket of flower and embellished silk pale peach
ribbon adorned with tiny beads. Oodles of "Silk Rococo" flower trim in
pale peach and pale sage green surround the basket and accent many parts of this
shade. On the back is English netting and silk ribbon that form the corset
string that tie in a sweet bow at the bottom of the shade, again surrounded buy
this fabulous silk rococo trim. Finally "All Glass" hand beaded fringe of
ivory and pale peachy/pink with hanging flower beads finish off this wonderful
shade.
The shade is a lush off white with the
tiniest hint of color when it is the light is off. But when lit the pale
peach lining comes to life and glows this wonderful peachy color. I think
pale peach is the perfect companion color to all those Shabby Chic pinks.
It give depth and warmth making all those lovely pinks look even more lush.
It is also a perfect color for Paris Apartment, I can see it setting in with all
those crystal lamps and gold accents. Of course it is perfect for
Victorian, very romantic. I had better stop describing this shade or I won't
want to give it up. It is always hard to part with each one of my
creations. They take many hours to make and sometimes even longer trying
to find that "Perfect" combination of fabric, trims and beads.
Lamp is an antique metal base (could be
spelter magnet does not stick) that has been restored to an off white antiqued
to match this lampshade. Lamp has been rewired with vintage style cord and
plug. It stands 22" high and 7" at the widest part of the base.
Shade 13.5" x 8" wide by 13" tall
including 2" beaded fringe. Together with the lamp it measures 24" from base to
top of shade.
