    This paper lamp shade has six panels. I don't think they are hand painted, just copies of paintings printed on the paper. I can't find any identifying marks at all. Unfortunately, the paper/binding that held it together has mostly deteriorated. I thought it was really unique so it's kind of sad.
    Thanks

      Hope you can get it back together. It is quite nice.

      the middle picture in the first photo looks so much like a Maxfield Parrish painting! it looks like a house in Cornish, NH with Mount Ascutney, VT in the background, but i think it may be by someone else imitating his style. still very cool!

      Thanks to both of you.
      I do plan to try to put it back together but I think it will be tricky.

      Interesting information about the painting. I'm going to do some research on the artist.

      Hello, I actually just ran across your photos of your lamp shade while I was researching the one I have that has been in the family for years. Not in the greatest shape either, unfortunately.
