Capture the charm of the Victorian and Art Nouveau eras with our Hand-Painted Gold Scalloped Glass Shade. This piece combines two distinct glass techniques: a chemical acid-etching process that creates a velvet-soft, non-glare background, and precise Hand-Applied Gilding that accentuates the molded ribs and curves.
More than just a spare part, this shade is designed to add value to Classic Brass Chandeliers, Tiffany-style table lamps, and high-end ceiling fan light kits.
About the glass shade :
- Premium Acid-Washed Foundation:
- Unlike sandblasting which can be rough, our acid-washing technique produces a “Satin” or “Alabaster-like” texture. This ensures light is diffused evenly without harsh spots, while feeling smooth and expensive to the touch.
- High-Adhesion Gold Paint:
- The decorative gold lines are applied using high-temperature resistant metallic paint. We cure the paint to ensure it does not peel or flake over time, even under the heat of incandescent bulbs.
- Complex Molded Shape:
- The glass features a scalloped (flower petal) bottom edge and vertical ribbed molding. This structural depth interacts with light to create beautiful shadows and highlights, far superior to plain flat glass.
- Universal Fit:
- The 4.2cm (approx. 1-5/8″) top opening is the industry standard for E27 screw rings, making it compatible with 90% of global light fixtures.
