Suitable for early electric fixtures.  This shade was popular from the beginning of electricity, around 1895, through the mid 1920's.

The tipping of color is hand-applied, so there are some slight variations in color.  Order the full number of shades that you need all at once, so we can find the best matches within our inventory. Decorator's Tip:  Order one extra shade for insurance against future breakage.
