When I got  the shade, its beautiful fabric ,the graceful shape, the craftman like construction made the antique ginger jar lamp look tarnished and frankly worn.  So off to the lamp repair artist and polisher the lamp went.  Now back, the lamp graced by this shade is the centerpiece of my house and sitting room. My old ginger jar lamp is now the queen of the living room with this as her crown.  I got more than my money on this deal all the way around.
