Title: More of ye old Royal Brierley....
Post by: keith on March 28, 2016, 05:51:25 PM

A quiet day at Malvern was much  improved when I met John who not only had a shade for me but had found a table lamp, a 'shoulder' vase lamp in 'midnight'  ;D ;D ta John  ;D

I do like the dark colour the best.
The chrysanthemum shade on the stand looks like a very happy partnership, it's slightly reminiscent of Chance "Silhouette".

I'm watching to check you get one like the yellow one I gave away before I knew you were after RB.

I'm looking out for another one for you.  ;D

You have a tall lamp base, in yellow, speckled with white?

Finding the lamp that morning was serendipitous in the extreme! :D

Oh no Sue, not in yellow I didn't know they did lamp bases till Charles Hajdamach sent me those pictures, I can't believe how much stuff they produced !  ::) ;D ;D
Certainly was John  ;D ;D

I like the shade and I like the base, Keith, but I'm not keen on them together - I'd have a plain shade with that base, but the chrysanthemum shade would look fab on a plain base (I have a silver bottle vase shaped one it would suit if you get bored with it!!!)  It reminds me of the wallpapers you see in some of the trendy boutique hotels! :) The RB shade is gorgeous!

It was the only shade we had, the one in the image Charles sent me had a plain white 'coolie' hat shape ( I can say 'coolie' can't I ? )  ;D
