Description
This clip-on silk string lampshade measures 8cm across the top rim, 13cm across the base and 11cm in height, forming a tapered drum profile built from layered silk string in ivory cream. The clip-on fitting at the top rim secures directly onto chandelier arms, wall light branches and small table lamp bases with candle-style bulb holders, removing the need for a separate shade carrier.
Designed for multi-arm chandeliers, wall lights with exposed bulb holders and compact bedside table lamps, the shade suits fittings where the bulb holder sits 3-5cm below the lamp arm or bracket. The silk string weave diffuses light from an E14 candle bulb, softening the direct glare while still providing functional task or accent lighting in bedrooms, hallways and living rooms with traditional or classical styling.
The ivory cream tone sits between pure white and soft beige, matching warm-toned brass, aged bronze and painted wood lamp bases without introducing stark contrast. The silk string is layered over an internal wire frame, giving the shade structural rigidity at 120g weight. The weave pattern runs vertically from top to bottom, with a subtle ribbed texture visible when the shade is lit from within.

Frequently Asked
What fitting does it clip onto?
The clip-on fitting at the top rim secures directly onto candle-style bulb holders commonly found on chandelier arms, wall lights and small table lamp bases. It does not require a separate shade carrier or harp.
What bulb size does it suit?
The shade suits E14 (small Edison screw) candle bulbs up to 40W. LED candle bulbs between 4-6W provide adequate light output without overheating the silk string material.
Can it be used on a table lamp?
Yes, provided the table lamp has a candle-style bulb holder rather than a standard E27 fitting. The 8cm top diameter and clip-on fitting are designed for compact lamp bases and chandelier arms.
How is the silk string cleaned?
Dust the shade with a dry microfibre cloth or a soft brush attachment on low suction. Avoid water or chemical cleaners, as silk string is absorbent and may stain or lose tension when wet.
