About Elegance Lamps
Functional Art by Crystal Hayes
Welcome to Elegance Lamps, the premier destination for exquisite, handcrafted lighting. Founded and operated by internationally renowned designer Crystal Hayes, this woman-owned brand based in Seattle, Washington, specializes in Victorian and vintage-style lampshades, which are available both individually and paired with fully restored antique lamps. As the sole creator, Crystal ensures that every lampshade complements its unique antique lamp, and each piece, crafted from rare materials, is truly one-of-a-kind.
Our artisan Victorian lampshades are meticulously handcrafted using the finest silks available and are hand-sewn with traditional techniques reminiscent of bygone eras. Each piece showcases thoughtfully curated antique and vintage appliques, trims, and hand-strung beadwork. At Elegance Lamps, we prioritize quality and pay homage to the preservation and innovative reuse of historic materials.
Authentic antique lamp bases used in Elegance Lamps’ products are upcycled, rewired by a certified electrician, and restored with standard plugs and switching. Lamps are refinished by hand and accented with handcrafted switching embellishments in the Elegance Lamps studio. These visually striking pieces offer modern functionality, a romantically enchanting ambiance, safety, and peace of mind.
Whether you seek to replace your existing lampshade or desire an antique lamp paired with a handmade shade, Elegance Lamps is your destination. Join our worldwide community of satisfied customers who appreciate the exceptional charm and sophistication our products bring to their spaces.
