Q. I have my own lamp and I need just the lampshade. Do you sell just the lampshade?
A. Yes! Check product descriptions on the Lamps and Shades page. If the word “lamp” is missing from the description, then the listing is for a lampshade only. Most “shade only” listings simply state Victorian Lampshade in the title.
Q. Do you accept custom orders or commissions?
A. Yes! Send a message to request a custom order via the clickable buttons on the website, via the Contact form, or simply click this link . Please include your preferred size, shape, color, and fringe option. It is also helpful to know your fitter type. You can see a list of available lampshade frames here. Please include the size and preferred lampshade frame style, as well as color and fringe treatment (beads, soft fringe, etc.). Please be aware that there is a queue, and your shade will be made in the order it was received.
