'La Broderie' standard lamp with a vintage French embroidery pattern lampshade


'La Broderie' standard lamp with a vintage French embroidery pattern lampshade


This retro standard lamp is ready to beautifully sit in a chic salon du lit; it's decorated in key design details from 'La Broderie' - a vintage French embroidery patterns for trousseaux, circa 1948-49, with only the base seeing a hint of colour - lilac. The embroidery patterns were purchased at a brocante in Central France and lovingly upcycled by Ade and Viv. To top this lamp off we've continued with the theme and given it a matching lampshade too! Due to the nature and age of the embroidery pattern, please expect to see wear and tear, we've no intention of hiding it, as we think it just adds further character to this lovely piece of lighting.

'La Broderie' on Bone White stand


'La Broderie'
                                    

                                     
'La Broderie' vintage paper shade on Bone White standard lamp, dipped in blue gloss. This range is a bit special, we've used post Second World War (circa 1948) French embroidery patterns used for decorating couture such as a wedding trousseau. These were bought in at a brocante in central France, a bit battered and dog-earred, look all the better for being a bit worn. As you can see from the photograph this piece looks great in your boudoir!





The good news is that if you've only got room for a pendant ceiling shade, they come in two sizes and we do sell them separately and have plenty in stock! Check the 'Shadey Ade' post for sizes avaliable.
