Antique Lamps with Natural Stones

Using Natural Stones on Victorian Lampshade Fringe

Summer is upon us but the creation of beautiful lamps never stops at Elegance Lamps.

Lately, I have been thinking about all the magical materials that can be used to make gorgeous beaded fringe Victorian lampshades. While I am partial to luminous beads there is no reason to overlook available opaque natural stones and minerals such as galena, pyrite, and feldspar.

I will be on the hunt for fantastic natural stone beads this summer, so be on the lookout for upcoming Victorian lampshades on antique lamp bases with natural stone beadwork.  In the meantime, please enjoy photographs of antique lamps from prior collections, featuring semi-precious natural stone beads, Czech crystals, fabulous metals, and antique beads.
