Behind the Scenes at Mario Contract Lighting
MCL has hundreds of patterns for standard size shades or we can custom make patterns.
We are the experts. MCL has been hand-making lampshades for 95 years. 
Strict attention to detail produces unsurpassed quality.  
Our shade frames are made of 11-gauge wire with cast washer tops, and we can powder coat the frames, if specified.
Choose from standard linens, designer fabrics, tri-laminates, or COM fabrics.
 
All fabrics are laminated to a 14 point styrene fire-retardant, UV resistant backing.
 
MCL can supply replacement shades for your existing wall sconces, lamps or ceiling fixtures.
Frames are available in any shape - washer tops, candle clips, uno fittings, etc.
Our shades come with easy-to-remove plastic covers for quick installation.
We'd be happy to work with you to create or replace your lamps and shades. We offer quick turnaround, and can closely match your existing lampshade. Let us know how we can help!
