Midnight Rose


Midnight Rose is the third in a series of shades that are inspired by the Garden of Ridvan, the Garden of Paradise.

This elaborate shade is constructed of cobalt blue, raw silk, embellished with gold and forest green leaves, shaded with deep wine netting and bordered with dainty blue flowers from a vintage Chinese wedding skirt. A silk ribbon rose is appliqued to the front panel. The hand beaded fringe features faceted czech crystals in cobalt and purple.

Finally, Midnight Rose is paired with a vintage solid brass lamp. The price is for the shade and lamp. If you'd like the shade by itself, let me know.

This inspirational lamp with always bring to mine the magic of a spring evening, the Mystic Nightingale and the heady scent of roses!

The list price is $2,900 and is for the lampshade and lamp.

NawRuz Reflection

Introducing "NawRuz Reflection" ...

She's made from a nineteenth century ceremonial skirt of gold silk with a complex pattern of embroidered flowers. The photos don't do justice to the translucent gold cloth. It glows even when the light is off. I added a glittering fringe of filigree balls and swarovski crystals. Finally, with the help of my husband, Greg, I refurbished an antique brass bridge lamp and tinted it to compliment the shade. Such a fun project for a new client in Canada.

The list price is $2,800 and is for the lampshade and lamp.
