Rawhide lamp shades are works of art perfect
for western, lodge/cabin lighting and rustic decor. You don’t have to settle for paper or faux
materials when genuine hand laced rawhide shades are not only beautifully
functional...but affordable too.
Rawhide leather lamp shades have no equal for character and charm in rustic
decor. These rawhide shades are hand-made by craftsman using new techniques to
the industry. A securely welded frame and hand stretched rawhide pieces creates a beautiful one of a
kind, elegant looking shade. The translucent character of the rawhide allows
light to emanate from within to create a wonderful natural atmosphere, perfect
for warm, friendly and inviting southwest, western and country decor.
Air conditioning and excessive heat can take its toll on rawhide
shades of any kind. Along with regular conditioning, using a CFL bulb
rather than a traditional incandescent bulb to protect against these drying
effects. Modern CFL bulbs have very nice light and produce a fraction of the
heat, while saving energy too.
