Product Description
This rustic tin lamp shade with glass accents is handcrafted in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, from hand-formed sheet metal with a sealed brown patina and colorful cabochon glass. Its cylindrical body features hand-punched stars, diamonds, and floral-inspired perforations that cast warm patterned light, while the softly oxidized finish adds depth and old-world character. Designed for wall-mount use in dry or covered outdoor spaces, this Mexican tin wall sconce shade is ideal for corridors, fireplaces, entryways, kitchens, patios, and hacienda-style interiors. Each piece reflects traditional metalworking with folded edges, burnished seams, and artisan punchwork that make every shade unique. Order now to add handcrafted warmth and colorful Mexican charm to your lighting design.
Material and Craft
Flat tin is cut, rolled, and locked, then hand-punched into floral arrays. Seats are hemmed for colored glass; edges folded, seams soldered and planished. A controlled oxidation and seal create low-sheen durability with authentic, varied motifs.
Lighting Effect
Perforations cast crisp starbursts, while cabochons glow with gentle, tinted color. The cylindrical body softens hotspots and spreads light evenly across surfaces. Unlit, gems catch ambient light; by night, the shade becomes a lantern.
