You buy a shade with the lamp in hand and the shade must suit the LAMP..not the piece of furniture onto which you may force that lamp. You can alter the height of harp...... but the shade must be an appropriate width and height for the lamp.

Pick another spot for a nice lamp: ) after you get the right shade. Find a good dedicate lamp store near you: )

Cute lamp! I’ve bought several vintage lamps for cheap but then bought nice lampshades at my local lamp store. They can help you with sizing and style.

Thanks everyone! I do things the way I like them, and the darn lamp will go where I want it...lol!

Jan is correct. The shade should fit the lamp because if it doesn't it looks stupid.

nothing special about the lamp itself probably from the 50-70s a conical shade will look really lanky and not do the lamp justice. if you want a bit smaller scale get a shorter harp. I would think a black and gold or shade would be nice this lamp has kind of a library feel.
