About the Artist
Diane has been painting tops for antique lamps for 25 years for both reputable antique dealers and individuals.
She was introduced to this art by a friend in the antique lamp business. She first pursued china painting and then learned to paint and fire glass through trial and error.
Although the antique lamp re-paint business is Diane's favorite art, she has recently branched out to include sinks and tiles in her porcelain painting.
VLR is 100% e-Business although arrangements can be made to deliver or pick up items. Gone With the Wind (GWW) lamps can be restored to their former beauty by having a new globe painted to match the antique base. All lamp globes are fired in a kiln to approx. 1300 degrees, so the paint will never come off.
Due to the nature of the painting required for the antique GWW lamp restoration, we will need the base shipped to us for the work to be completed. We have been doing this for many years and these lamps need special packing. Please see our section on shipping for instructions.
Bath sinks, tiles and GWW lamp shades can be custom painted in any pattern or color. We will also have completed sinks, tiles, accessories and antique GWW lamps available for sale on our website. As these become available they will be added to the website.
