(Back to Lamp Shades)
W.N. DE SHERBININ, located in Danbury CT, carries a great wealth of lamp parts as well as shades. Part of its large stock of parts is devoted to restoring or creating the Victorian glass-shaded, chimneyed lamps treasured by wealthy housewives and modest farm families. Looking at DeSherbinin’s stock of finials—grand, elegant, and just plain fun (what better than a fish-finial for the lamp in a fisherman’s den?)—is like a trip to a jewelry store.

DeSherbinin’s shades, on the other hand, tend toward classic shapes, fine materials, and solid, rich colors. By and large, fringe and frippery are left to other designers. DeSherbinin’s shades will adapt to many decorating schemes and locations because of their classic lines, and the quality of their construction will make them part of decor for a long time.
