Antique Art Deco Newel Post Floor Lamp with Handmade Lampshade

I just finished trimming this handmade lampshade.  It looks awesome on the antique newel post lamp base.  We found the base in Cambridge, NY at an antique store and had to have it for one of my special creations.

I think the style is called art deco...not my usual Victorian type shades but close.

This shade is made from silk fabrics in green and gold.  The sage green trim accents the double layer of cream colored fringe and gold, brown, and blue scalloped, beaded fringe.  It took ten hours to create, but was worth the time and effort.

It is for sale at Exquisite Things Gift Shoppe in Bemus Point, NY.

Dutchess Victorian Shade Done

So here it is after 11 hours of work it is finally done. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Here is a close up of the sugar beading on the windows.

Here's my next project; I'm calling it Plum Hayley. I need to find some trim for the top and bottom edges yet.

Here's a close up of the double layer of fringe and beads.
