"But darn it, it's hard to find a suitable product to line the inside of classic lamp."

If you post a photo of your light here I may be able to help.
There are TONS of options for this, but I need to see the light first.
More than they had back then really.

Ok I found the papers I was looking for, these are BOTH from Kahiki lights.
The are so dry and tear apart very easy.
If these were glued and Shellacked they would be fine.

Hate to say this but the Kahiki lights in some ways were very poorly made.
The paper was crammed in and huge overlaps that made the light Transmission not as good,
if I made lights like these people would not be happy.

Is this paper the same as yours pa'akiki?

First one is Tapa and the other is just grass cloth wall paper.
