    The Amber Mica Lamp Shades have a distinctive and understated aesthetic. Their warm and gentle ambient light is created by the translucent material and glowing mineral flecks when illuminated. These lamp shades are inspired by the craftsman style popular during the arts and crafts movement, making them a perfect complement to both vintage and modern lighting fixtures.

    Mica refers to a group of minerals. These silicate minerals are heat-resistant, do not conduct electricity and appear in various colors. The sheet mica is made by laminating mica flakes - crystals together with shellac or resin.

    Amber mica lamp shades are a hex shape. They are made on a copper-brown metal frame that is rust resistant. Frame is wrapped with sheet mica. Hex shape is set off by dark brown taped binding, accenting top, bottom and individual sections.

    Measure Harp Lamp Shades

    Standardized Lamp Shades Measurements

    • Top: diameter across top of shade
    • Bottom:  diameter across base of shade
    • Side: straight measurement of the slant-side of shade

    A small 1/2" ring fitter is at center top of a harp lamp shade frame. This ring sits on post at top of harp and is secured by a lamp finial.

    Guidelines for determining which Harp Lamp Shade to select.

    These generalizations apply to many lamps however personal taste should be the guiding influence. 
    • Height of Lamp Shade: approximately 2/3 rds height of lamp-base. (height of lamp base: distance from bottom of lamp base to base of lamp socket)
    • Bottom-diameter of Lamp Shade: approximately 1”-2” less than lamp-base height. Bottom diameter should not exceed lamp-base height. 

    • Lamp shade proportions should reflect lamp base proportions. For example: a short squat lamp will look best with a shade of similar proportions.
    • Using the same lamp shade base shape, round or square, provides a cohesive appearance.
    • If using incandescent light bulbs there should be a minimum of 3-1/2” between lamp shade and bulb to allow heat escape.
    • If the preferred lampshade size is not available, it is normally best to choose a slightly larger rather than smaller size shade.
    • Change harp height if the lampshade is sitting too high or low on the lamp.
