Mica Lamp Shade

Mica Lamp shade panels have been used as a decorative lamp shades over many years. The combination of the mica flakes with the contrasting color intensity and tones of the binding resins create a unique, random lighting effect. Its primary use has been in lampshades and ceiling panels. Mica Lamps began showing up in early American homes before 1900, and the clear mineral mica probably gained popularity because of its resistance to heat and flame, because early mica lamps were oil or candle lamps rather than the new electric mica lamp.
