Antique Glass Lamp Shades


One of the most beautiful types of antique is the antique lamp, especially the glass lamp. Antique glass lamp shades can be found in a variety of colors and designs. There is stained glass, slag glass, Depression-era glass, carnival glass and so much more. The problem with an antique lamp however is that it may be hard to find a replacement shade from the same era as the lamp. If you have a lamp with a broken panel or missing glass shade you might want to consider using a reproduction shade which looks just like the real thing.

Glass is a very popular material for crafting lamp shades, and has been for centuries. While it's true fabric lampshades are also very popular, they cannot match the elegance and beauty of a glass shade. You will find so many choices for table lamps, floor lamps and hanging lamps. There are hundreds of different styles out there, from simple to ornate. Some shades are frosted white while others are clear. Stag glass is pressed glass with streaks of color through it and is often used for glass lamp shade panels.

You might want to start your search at your local antique shops, who may have some glass lamps and shades from days gone by. Shopping for antiques in person gives you an opportunity to look closely at the piece and handle it. However you may not find the selection you are looking for in stores. The Internet is certainly an option for anyone looking for that hard-to-find antique lamp or lamp shade. In addition you can also find a great variety of quality reproductions that are as close as you can get to the real antique. When shopping online you can choose from online retailers, discount sites and online auction sites like Ebay.

Lots of people buy and sell antiques on Ebay. Antique glass lamp shades are only one of the many items you can bid on. Sometimes the seller will offer an item at a Buy It Now price, which means you can snatch the item up before anyone bids on it. This is a good option if you come across a rare antique that you've just got to have at any price. If you're looking for a deal, bidding at the last minute can help you get a bargain in some cases. Just make sure you are bidding on a real antique rather than a reproduction unless that is what you want.
