COMMENTS
A beautiful finish for a medium to large table or floor lamp. Especially one near the beach! I coated the shell with matte acrylic spray to help strengthen the shell, but it is a delicate finial. The bottom opening has a plastic disc over it, which allowed me to attach the shell to the finial base. It is not visible from the front or sides. Please see other sections in my shop for a wide selection of handmade lampshades, finials, and lamps with custom shades.

SIZING A LAMPSHADE
As a general rule of thumb, know that the lampshade should never overpower the lamp. The height of the shade should be roughly two inches shorter than the lamp base. As to the diameter, it can be up to 2 to 3 times wider than the widest part of the lamp. Another consideration is how much space do you have around the lampshade?
When requesting a custom order, please let me know top x bottom x height. The height of the shade should be measured straight up, not on the slant. I will also need to know the fitting type and finish. Is it a clip top, a washer top, an uno frame? Would you like it to be flush with the top wire, or recessed? Finally, brass, nickel, or painted? Thanks!

Lint rollers work great on fabric lamp shades.
For wire mesh shades a lint free cloth and canned air will give you optimal cleaning results.
On small lamp shades it is best to use a lower wattage light bulb to avoid scorching the polystyrene lining. For the highest wattage a purchased shade can handle, please contact me.
I use mineral oil to polish lamp finials.
