Here's one of the pair sans the nasty shades they came with. As luck would have it, I came across a pair of black paper shades with metallic gold lining that were a perfect fit! I was sure the black shades and the brass lamps would live happily ever after.
But fate intervened. I was at my friend Bob Grove's (of Hometown Pickers fame) warehouse when I spotted this in his stacks of lampshades. (!!!!)
There were two (!!) and they came home with me. And they fit my brass lamps perfectly.

The lesson here is: it's good to be in the right place at the right time and have friends with Pagoda lampshades.
