RARE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN SILK SHIELD-SHAPED SCONCE SHADE W/TASSEL

A great find, this rare and unusual antique shield-shape sconce shade is fabricated from silk with metallic threads, giving it an iridescent bronzy glow. Trimmed with lace and twisted ribbon, and accented in the center with a metallic gold bullion tassel. Clip shade can be used on a sconce, candlestick, or light fixture. Measures approximately 6 inches high by 5 inches wide. 

Good condition for its age, with no tears in the silk in front, and a split in the silk lining in back that is visible in the photos. Lace trim is worn in spots. Flaws do not detract from the charm of this beautiful object!

NO RESERVE — HAPPY BIDDING!
