You know, the modern version of same. I have a large repro shade I
bought about 20 years ago. The more or less "tulip" shaped wire frame
was new then, and it's still in great shape. The silk it was covered
with (even though the shade is a repro) is shattering badly.
It strikes me that getting the material correctly stretched over the
frame would take practice and I don't really have time to practice. Does
anyone on h-costume cover lamp shades? Does anyone know how hard it is?
I'd rather have someone experienced do it, but if I end up having to
do it I'd like to know what is involved.
Thanks,
Fran
