This lamp shade came on a 1947 Canadian Coleman 158 table lamp (found in Australia per @Akeepsake). It’s printed cardboard with thin rope fastening. The shade finial and framework is definitely Canadian Coleman, but the floral pattern is not one found in the Vantiger book of lamp shades. To use Coleman measures it has a 13” bottom diameter and a height of 7 1/2”. Note that the thread fastening is sewn “back cursive” not right leaning. I’ve seen this before on other shaded seen on Australian Coleman lamps, and occasionally on Coleman printed material. Does anyone recognise this shade or the flowers printed on it? Cheers Tony
I google searched the cropped flower and AI suggested it is ‘possibly’ an Australian ‘Everlasting’ daisy and that it matches the range of colours exhibited by these flowers.
@Sedgman Are the stamens correct? They don’t look right to me. Edit: I don't think they could be everlasting daisy because these do not have stamens that could be stylised i the manner of the white stamens on the shade. The leaves are also wrong. The closest flower I could find is a red peony with white stamens (then painted with artistic licence). Tony
Whatever the flowers are it is nice old shade from an another era. Many years ago had a home craft book which gave details on how to make lampshades of that sort. Years past in colder climate countries with long winters homecraft hobbies were popular.
