Clip-On Silk String Lampshade - Lilac Pink, 8/13cm x 11cm

This clip-on lampshade uses fine silk strings tensioned across an 80mm top diameter and 130mm base diameter frame, creating a tapered cone 110mm high. The strings are wound close together to form a semi-translucent surface that diffuses light while showing the texture of the thread when lit. The lilac pink colour sits between pastel pink and soft mauve, casting a warm-toned glow when paired with a warm-white bulb.

Designed for candle bulbs on chandeliers, wall lights and small table lamps where a clip-on fitting is needed, the shade attaches directly to the bulb holder via a spring-loaded metal clip. The 80mm top opening accommodates standard E14 candle bulb holders, and the shade sits 110mm below the bulb base once clipped in place. At 0.1kg the shade is light enough not to unbalance wall brackets or small chandelier arms.

The silk string construction gives the shade a softer appearance than rigid fabric or card shades, with visible ribbing from the wound threads adding textural interest under daylight. The lilac pink tone pairs well with white, ivory, brass and chrome fittings, and works in bedrooms, dressing rooms, and living rooms where a decorative accent is wanted without strong colour dominance.

What bulb fitting does it suit?

The 80mm top diameter fits standard E14 (small Edison screw) candle bulb holders. The shade clips directly onto the bulb holder via a spring-loaded metal clip, so no additional hardware is needed.

Can it be used on a table lamp?

Yes, provided the table lamp uses an E14 candle bulb holder and the shade's 130mm base diameter does not obstruct the lamp base or switches. The clip-on mechanism works on both vertical and angled fittings.

How is the silk string cleaned?

Dust gently with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. The silk strings are tensioned across the frame and should not be wet-cleaned, as moisture can loosen the material or cause colour run. Vacuum on low suction with a brush attachment if needed.

What light output does it give?

The wound silk strings diffuse light softly, reducing glare from the bulb while casting a warm lilac-pink tint. Pair with a 3-6W warm-white LED candle bulb for ambient bedroom or living room lighting.
