This lovely silk Victorian era lamp shade has lasted through the ages and even has some creatively lovely repairs. Whoever repaired it used thread on the holes and then painted beautiful flowers around the holes to disguise them. The silk is old and brittle and so will likely need to be replaced, and the frame has been bent and will need to be bent back in order to be symmetrical again. It's being offered as either a historic relic or a frame which can be refurbished.
