Lane's Lampshades

were designed as components for his lamp sculptures, but they have taken on a life of their own and are now available as stand alone pieces.  When purchasing a Patterson shade to go on your existing base, please pay special attention to the height and drop as Lane's shades might require you to purchase a different harp for your base.  A height and drop chart is at the bottom of this page.
