Ever wondered how Victorian lampshades are made? They’re certainly not made in a factory, and are instead handmade by individual artists. Welcome to the creation path for this beautiful handmade Victorian lampshade and antique lamp pairing! This lamp features a peacock theme, an exciting crescent shaped lampshade, and beads strung by hand, one-by-one.

Lit and looking radiant! These lamps cost a fortune in time and money to make, and there is very little profit margin to making them. I make these wonderful creations for the purpose of adding art to the world, and making it a more beautiful place. This type of art is a “slow art”, meaning that the artist takes time and care in the creation process to ensue that every detail is perfect and that historic textiles are preserved with great care and respect.
