heres a few pics of my lates Monart lamp , complete with original fitting and full label, acid washed interior for diffusing the light , mint condition shape OF colour code 68, the shade isn't original to the vase lamp and is now in the bin, will source a better one later
-
Oh - I've got a size VII same shape and colour - thought it was a vase till i tried to clean it and realised it was acid etched!
no labels or fittings though :(
does look lovely lit - would this have had a painted parchment shade?
maybe i should try to get some fittings made!
-
A very big, tall (retro-style) cylindrical fibreglass shade in orange might go quite well.
You'd have to get the proportions right - it would have to be wide enough as well as tall enough.
It's a lovely warm glowy sort of thing to be living with, Gary. :)
-
Nice Monart lamp, it looks much better lit.

might have had a painted shade but not all did so might not have, only ones from libertys im led to believe came with painted ones , so ones from Moncrieff may have came without a shade or maybe a plain one
