A true vintage example with original bronze-tone metal trim fully intact — increasingly hard to find in this condition.

Measuring 18 inches in diameter at its widest point and approximately 10 inches tall, this shade makes a strong statement without overwhelming a lamp base. The body is wrapped in warm camel-toned parchment with subtle natural patina and tonal variation that gives it depth and character.

What truly sets this piece apart is the twisted metal trim detailing at the top, bottom, and vertical seams — a sophisticated upgrade from standard fabric braid. The metal edging gives the shade structure, durability, and that unmistakable tailored library or gentleman’s study aesthetic.

The interior parchment glows beautifully when lit, casting a rich, warm light ideal for creating ambiance.

Intact examples with all original metal trim present are increasingly hard to find — many lose their edging over time. This one remains complete and structurally sound.

Perfect for:
• Ralph Lauren inspired interiors
• Equestrian or lodge style homes
• Traditional or transitional settings
• A statement table or floor lamp
