Beautiful cut corner shades

U had one alabaster Marbro lamp for years and fortunately found another this past year to add to my bedroom nightstands. Luxlampshades helped me match the color and size of the original silk lampshade that I liked. The silk shades are beautiful and well made. The service and communication were excellent. I will purchase from this company again.

Hi there,

Thank you for your kind words and for choosing our Cut Corner Rectangle Bell 100% Pongee Silk Lamp Shade in Sand. We are thrilled to hear that we were able to help you find a perfect match for your alabaster Marbro lamp. Our team strives to provide excellent service and communication, and we are happy to know that we met your expectations. We look forward to assisting you with any future purchases. Have a lovely day!

Hi there!

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Empire Paper Shade with Accent Trim. We're thrilled to hear that you love the gold trim on your shade. Thank you for choosing our product and for taking the time to leave a review. Have a great day!

Superb job!

Lux replaced the silk lining in my shade, and I am blown away at the quality of their work. It is simply masterful. Such a niche business and I’m so grateful to have found them online. My shade came back in pristine and “like new” condition. Thank you!!!!

It means a lot to us that you appreciate the quality and craftsmanship we put into our niche business. We're grateful to have had the opportunity to assist you and we hope to continue providing top-notch service in the future. Thank you for choosing us!

Beautiful shades.

Shades were for 1985 restored Chapman art deco lamps I am gifting to my son and daughter-in-law. I am very pleased with their appearance. Definitely elevates the over all appearance of the lamps. Would like your website to have the ability to put the shade on the lamp virtually. It would be helpful in selecting the shade. Most people are reluctant to order shades online because there is a “mystery” to selecting a shade.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are so glad to hear that you are pleased with the appearance of our No Hug English Bell Double Lining 100% Pongee Silk Lamp Shade. We are always looking for ways to improve our website and appreciate your suggestion to have the ability to virtually put the shade on a lamp. We will definitely take that into consideration. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope your son and daughter-in-law enjoy their restored lamps.

Beautiful details

This lovely raffia lampshade, with interesting scalloped edges, complete with hand painted details made a big difference in our sitting room!

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying the beautiful details of our Scalloped Raffia Hardback Shade. The hand painted details truly add a special touch to any room. Thank you for choosing our product to elevate your sitting room!
