<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 29581, member: 37"]Back in the days when parlor oil lamps were popular (70s or so), it was pretty easy to find people who could paint matching shades pretty competently. I am sure there are some still out there but doubt it comes cheap. I think your best bet is to find a burner with spider or mounting ring first and look for a complementary shade to fit it. Something like a milk glass shade with some pattern to it or even a frosted clear shade would work.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.lehmans.com/images/product/large/3364.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.lehmans.com/images/product/large/3402.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT9Ftv2yPu7oQVm3XHI9uI8gS5NJRU9iQWk_dP-P_BQxRNBbRZc" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://johnmoncrieff.co.uk/shop-2/images2/oillampshades.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
