Custom rustic, wildlife, and drum lampshades



Questions we are frequently asked...

What are your lamp shades made of?

The Fireside Collection and Drum Shades are made from thin fairly transparent hand made papers. They are laminated onto a special lamp shade material called styrene that protects the paper from the heat of the light bulb and gives it the stiffness needed to hold it's shape.

The Wildlife and Rawhide Glow Lamp Shades are made from a man made paper with the texture and look of natural rawhide. This thin paper is then laminated onto a backing called dulcote which protects the shade from the heat of the bulb. This paper choice has many advantages over true rawhide. You can use a much higher wattage bulb to get more light for tasks such as reading and you don't have the maintaince issues of never ending conditioning or having to worry about cracking.



I'm not sure what size I need?

This is a very common question so we have made a special page that addresses different shapes, sizes, and how to make adjustments. See Lamp Shade Sizing for help.


After I place an order with you how long will it take before I get it?  What if I don't like it, can I return it?
