B&P LampStiffel Style Cased White Glass Torchiere Floor Lamp Shade

My main concerns on ordering a replacement shade for my original Stiffel floor lamp were that the shade needed to maintain the same graduated flare opening to the ceiling as established by the beginning of the torchiere flare captured in the cast bronze crown of the body of the lamp and that the glass color and density gave ambient light emitted horizontally through the shade the soft, slightly amber hue that the original created. I am very satisfied that both of these requirements are well met by this product. The radius of the outward flare is a perfect match, which allows the glass to appear as if it were seamlessly flowing out of the bronze lamp crown. The shade exterior surface is polished to a mirror-like surface so that if reflects lights and images from other sources when the lamp is off (a la Chicago's "Cloudcroft" public statue). When the lamp is on, the shade imparts a slightly honey colored hue to furnishings and walls close to it. When handled and cleaned, the shade feels lighter and perhaps less dense in terms of glass thickness than the original. But the shade is precision crafted so that it sets into the lamp crown securely making simultaneous contact with all nubs of the lamp's shades resting enclosure. When the lamp is moved short distances across the floor, the shade sits securely in place with no rattling of glass on metal. Good product

The media could not be loaded. I’m giving 5 stars for the shade, not the packing. I could hear the broken chards of glass rattling around in the box before I even opened the box. The shade is fragile and was thrown in a large box with one flimsy piece of bubble wrap around it. I called Amazon and they wanted me to return it for a refund and then eventually agreed to refund me without returning it because it was hazardous to return broken glass. Fast forward to over a month later and the refund still hadn’t shown up. I had to go through the process again and hopefully this time I will be refunded. I ended up calling the manufacturer directly and ordering directly from them, I can’t imagine the next box from Amazon, being packed any differently, and I really wanted the shade. It came well packed and is a beautiful replacement for this lamp. A little bit thinner than the original, but looks great, and the light reflects off of it nicely.

Unfortunately Stiffel is now out of business as they made great products! When I accidentally broke the shade on my floor lame I didn't find a replacement that fit it until someone reminded me that it was a Stiffel. When I researched Stiffel lamp shade on Amazon this product came up along with a photo of my floor lamp! The new shade perfectly fits my lamp and appears to be high quality glass. I couldn't be more pleased!
