Shades & Diffusers

Explore our collection of antique and vintage shades and diffusers, each piece crafted to shape, soften, and elevate the quality of light while bringing authentic period detail to your fixture. Sourced from historic residences, early commercial buildings, and architectural restorations, these shades represent the artistry and material richness of lighting design throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Our selection includes a diverse range of forms: hand-blown opal glass, prismatic and ribbed glass diffusers, etched and acid-washed patterns, classic schoolhouse globes, flame-shaped shades, industrial metal reflectors, and early Art Deco geometric designs. Many pieces retain the original maker’s marks, subtle variations from hand production, and patinas that highlight their age and craftsmanship.

Each shade or diffuser is carefully inspected and selected for compatibility with a variety of antique and vintage fixtures, including chandeliers, pendants, sconces, and early electric conversions. Their ability to transform brightness, color temperature, and the overall atmosphere of a room makes them essential components for restoration projects or for adding authentic character to modern lighting.

Whether you’re replacing a missing shade, restoring a period fixture, or seeking a distinctive one-of-a-kind element, these pieces bring depth, warmth, and timeless artistry to your lighting design.
