Currier and Ives were partners who founded a successful printmaking firm in New York City, 1834 to1907. They produced hand-colored prints of Americana scenes copied from paintings by celebrated artists of the day. Today, any existing original prints are highly collectible.

Our shade is illustrated with four popular Currier & Ives scenes. Each scene is repeated twice around the shade on eight bent panels. We fired ceramic decals permanently onto the marbled honey glass. This warm shade will add a touch of charming Victorian nostalgia to your home. 

​

Our shade is appropriately paired with a vintage metal base, the Acorn. It was manufactured by California Castings, a renowned go-to foundry in the late 1960’s that produced quality replica Victorian lamp bases. Unfortunately, they are no longer in business.

The base is brass plated, patinaed and hand buffed.​
