Description
This clip-on lampshade is constructed from fine black silk thread wound around a wire frame, creating an 8cm top diameter, 13cm base diameter, and 11cm height. The clip-on fitting grips directly onto small chandelier-style bulbs or candle bulbs in E14 or similar small fittings, removing the need for a separate shade carrier or harp.
Designed for wall lights, chandeliers and small table lamps where the bulb sits exposed and needs diffusion, the shade softens direct light without blocking it entirely. The silk thread construction allows light to pass through in a controlled way, creating a warm glow around the bulb while reducing glare. The black finish suits both contemporary interiors and classical lighting where contrast is wanted against pale walls or metalwork.
The wound silk thread gives the shade a matt texture that shows subtle variations in tone when lit, as the weave density varies slightly across the surface. At 120g the shade adds minimal weight to a bulb fitting and won't strain delicate chandelier arms or wall light brackets. The frame is steel wire, powder-coated black to match the thread.
The 8cm top opening clips over the base of an E14 candle bulb, and the 13cm base spreads the softened light outward across a wider area than a straight drum of the same height. Because the fitting grips the bulb rather than a carrier, it works on fittings that were never designed to take a shade, such as bare chandelier arms and exposed wall light branches. The powder-coated frame keeps the black tone consistent from rim to rim, and the 1 year warranty covers faults.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does this shade fit?
The clip-on fitting grips directly onto small candle-style bulbs, typically E14 fittings or similar small bulb formats used in chandeliers and wall lights. The shade cannot be used with standard E27 or GU10 bulbs.
How does the clip-on fitting attach?
Three spring-loaded metal clips inside the top rim of the shade grip the neck of the bulb below the glass envelope. The shade sits directly on the bulb without needing a separate shade carrier, harp or ring.
Can it be used with LED bulbs?
Yes. LED candle bulbs in E14 format work well with this shade, as they generate minimal heat. Avoid using with high-wattage halogen bulbs, as the heat can damage the silk thread over time.
Is the shade washable?
The silk thread construction cannot be washed. Dust can be removed gently with a soft dry brush or a low-power vacuum with a brush attachment. Do not use water or cleaning sprays, as they will stain and weaken the silk.
