Lamps and shades…There’s nothing like a beautiful vintage lamp and, if you’re lucky, a pristine vintage shade to match.    Even though big-box stores like Homegoods and Target are hawking some pretty sweet lighting at decent prices, they won’t have the patina and texture of their vintage counterparts.  I have replaced plugs (kits that just require splicing the cord and sliding on a new plug) and I’ve even rewired a floor lamp by snaking new wire through the column.  Either of these jobs are suitable for the novice but some work may best be handled by a professional.  Given that many vintage lamps can be had for a song, rewiring costs are a sound investment.  The photos highlight some lamps I’ve sold, some I’ve seen from other dealers and some that live in my own home…I LOVE a vintage lamp.  Love that some of them had a former life as a thermos, cigar box, and a few other fun things.  The right lamp can make a room and provide significant function and ambience…designers love ’em and so should you:) Without further ado, F&F lamps and shades…
