About Traditional Lamp Shades
The traditional lamp shade is graceful and inviting, evoking the warmth and elegance of 18th and 19th century rooms. Still the most popular of design styles, the traditional look can be easily reinforced and amplified with the right choice of lamp shades. Add a classic bell or empire shape shade to a pair of lamps flanking a couch to create a gracious sense of proportion. Or add clip-on lamp shades to a chandelier to add a warm elegance to dining rooms. Browse for shades with trimmed edges, embroidered patterns and the use of fine materials to capture the traditional look.
