Capiz shell lamp shade

This is a capiz shell lampshade, often referred to as a Tiffany-style or Art Deco-style lampshade, made of translucent pieces of window curtain oyster shells (Placuna placenta) arranged in a mosaic pattern. Key Features Material: The lampshade is made of thin, flat, translucent capiz shells, sourced from the Philippines. This is a different material than mother-of-pearl, which is the iridescent inner layer of another shell and is not translucent. Style: The construction, with the metal connections between the shells, is reminiscent of the copper foil technique popular in Tiffany lamps, hence the common description "Tiffany-style." Lighting Effect: The natural translucency of the shells creates a soft, diffused, and warm glow when lit. A beautiful shade for a lamp base or, with a socket, a pendant lamp.
