Abstract: A lamp display system (10) is disclosed for displaying various lamp shades (11) with various lamps (12). The lamp display system includes a rear wall (13), a top shelf (14), a middle shelf (15), and a bottom shelf (16). The system also includes a plurality of lamp shade mounting arms (18). Each mounting arm has an arm portion (19) extending to a light bulb socket (21), and a harp (22). Each mounting arm may be mounted to an elongated mounting bracket (23) which in turn is mounted to the rear wall. The mounting arms are also staggered in height and/or distance from the rear wall to allow for the compact display of many lamp shades.
