"Uncle Sam" Trumpet Shade on a Navy Blue Standard Lamp


"Uncle Sam" Trumpet Shade on a Navy Blue Standard Lamp





This trumpet lampshade has been upcycled and handcrafted using a Star Spangled Banner with 48 stars. We've called this showstopper of an arrangement "Uncle Sam", as we think the shape of the shade lends itself nicely to the hat sported by the original Uncle Sam and we're happy to pay homage to him! Due to the age of the flag, there is some wear, and discoloration, don't worry, it really adds to the overall look and feel of the product. It looks great!









To accompany the lampshade, we used suitably patriotic coloured paints to upcycle the standard lamp.
