slip shade slipped

When we first put individual slip shades up for sale on our website I was not sure of the demand or need for them. We had a few laying around and we thought why not? As there were probably millions of them made during the late 20s and early 30s, what kind of demand could there be?


It turns out there is a very real demand for these. And what is most surprising to us is the frequency at which they are broken. We get several calls a month from frantic homeowners and house guests trying to replace a recently broken shade. Then we get the calls from people who have been looking for YEARS, yes years, to match a broken shade. More then one of these folks have told us they have been looking for over 5 years until they found us!

Because of this demand, we now have the largest selection of individual slip shades on the web. Unfortunately, like anything in limited quantity, the demand keeps pushing the prices up. Prices of these have almost doubled within the past couple years and the current recession has only slightly curbed the climbing prices of these slip shades.

Please be careful with these.

Listen to your eyes.  PB
