The Miss Mona lamp and lampshade were inspired by a delicate lady's handkerchief, an exquisite remnant of a 19th-century lady's handiwork. I'm frequently torn between wanting to preserve antiquated, artisanal pieces and yearning to incorporate such items into shades for all to see and enjoy.
I named her, Mona, which means "noble" and "aristocratic." That being said, I've tried to imagine a prim and corseted young lady creating such a fine piece of work. I doubt that this kerchief was never intended or used for dabbing her dainty nose!
The price is for the shade and lamp. Though "Mona" has recently sold, let me know if you have a lamp or heirloom memento you'd like made into a lampshade. Together, we can update or repurpose your treasures to light up your home or office.
