Vintage pleated lamp shade with decorative banding

This decorative pleated lamp shade dates to the 1970s, featuring a cream-colored body with ornate gold and dark brown banding at the top and bottom. The cylindrical design with pleating was a popular aesthetic during the Hollywood Regency and late Mid-Century Modern period of interior design. These types of lamp shades were highly sought after for their ability to diffuse light elegantly while adding texture and visual interest to a room. Collectors of vintage lighting and Mid-Century Modern decor particularly value these pieces for their nostalgic appeal and the warm, sophisticated ambiance they create when illuminated.
