“>Open Question: i have an antique floor lamp?
i’m trying to figure out if it originally had a glass or fabric shade. and also, what the name of the piece where the shade would fit is called.
the piece is bell shaped with a pull chain socket. it has no small screws like you would see with a small glass shade to hold it on,such as on a ceiling fan. there is actually nothing that would affix the shade to the bell that i can tell. any ideas? i don’t know how to put a picture up in order for you to view it or i would do that
