Description
Wide and shallow, this is a drum shade in dual faux silk, antique gold outside with a ruby lining that warms the light coming through it. The shade measures 60cm across, which gives it presence without much drop, and the fitting sits 42cm below the ceiling. An E27 socket sits behind a frosted acrylic diffuser with an antique brass rim, so you see an even glow rather than the lamp itself. We would fit an LED GLS lamp here, up to 20W.
It suits rooms where a pendant would hang too low: bedrooms under sloping eaves, a landing, a first floor hallway, or a dining table in a flat with standard ceiling height. Because the diffuser closes the underside, the light falls softly rather than glaring, which makes it comfortable to sit beneath. Pair a compatible lamp with a dimmer and it will dim, and that is how we would run it over a table. It is one we point people towards when they want the softness of fabric with a tidier underside than an open shade gives.
The frame is finished in antique brass and the shade is faux silk, gold on the show side with the ruby turned inward. A soft brush, or the upholstery tool on a vacuum, keeps the fabric clean; the diffuser asks for no more than a wipe with a barely damp cloth once the power is off and the fitting has cooled. It carries a one year warranty. The gold and ruby pairing sits well with warm woods and deeper paint colours. Elsewhere in the range we stock smaller universal semi flush fittings in polished chrome, satin nickel and satin black, plus linear pendants in antique brass. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How far does it hang below the ceiling?
The overall height is 42cm, with the shade itself accounting for 22cm of that, so it stays close to the ceiling for a fitting of this width.
What lamp should I use?
One E27 lamp, up to 20W. An LED GLS (A60) shape is the recommended choice and keeps the running temperature low behind the diffuser.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes, provided you use a dimmable lamp together with a compatible dimmer. Neither a lamp nor a dimmer is supplied with the fitting.
What is the shade made from?
Faux silk in two tones, antique gold on the outer face with a ruby lining. The diffuser below it is frosted acrylic set in an antique brass rim.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which makes it right for dry rooms such as bedrooms, landings and dining rooms rather than bathrooms or covered outdoor areas.
How do I clean the faux silk?
Switch off at the wall first. Use a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool on the fabric, and avoid sprays or damp cloths on the silk itself.
