Those are truly amazing lamps @crystalize. The post itself is very well laid out with a nice mix of writing and photos. I at first thought you had just added the bead strands to an already fabricated lamp, but as I read your article the truth came out. Definitely a lot of work there. Great that you were able to repurpose some items in it construction.
I agree that this post should have got more recognition than it did.

Thank you, @sighmanjestah! Yes, the entire project is a restoration, and I actively seek out and acquire antique materials/textiles that compliment the time period of the antique bases. It is a very expensive hobby, but a labor of love. I really appreciate the feedback, and thank you for reading!
