Item Description

With this package, you will receive two matching hand-crafted lampshades. The subtle pink and white satin piping complement the gorgeous and unusual pleating pattern will be the perfect addition to your home decor.

"In turn-of-the century Newport, Rhode Island, where life was lived on a grand scale and elegance and sophistication in home furnishings was at its zenith, Mrs. Blanche P. Field, founder of the company, was called upon to create luxurious lampshades for the great houses of Bellevue Avenue.

The Blanche Field tradition of applying old-world craftsmanship to the finest materials to create luminous, one of a kind lampshades continues today in our workshops in Boston and in our Manhattan studio. Every lampshade we create is hand-made, one at a time, to your specifications. Our designers and artisans work with customers from all over the world to bring their unique visions to life."

Plus, in honor of the Tiffany Lamp from You Better Sit Down: Tales from My Parents' Divorce, which was a highly contested object in one of the chronicled divorces, we are including two tickets to the New York premiere of You Better Sit Down at the Flea Theater!
