Love Pottery Barn Mercury Lamps...my version

took these apart, scraped inside out of the glass - it seemed to be a type of copper coated paint. Using looking glass paint by krylon I sprayed 5 light sweeping coats allowing it to dry in between about 15 minutes each time. Brilliant silver spray by krylon to fill in some of the gaps. Using a soft damp cloth after the tackiness was gone - I rubbed some of the paint to make an aged appearance. I put the lamp back together and tried different shades I had on it. The burlap shades are looking best to me at his time.
