Clip-On Silk String Lampshade - Midnight Blue, 8/13cm x 11cm

This clip-on lampshade is built from midnight blue silk string wound into vertical pleats, forming a tapered shade with an 8cm top diameter, 13cm base diameter and 11cm height. The clip-on fitting grips directly onto a chandelier arm or wall light bulb holder without needing a screw ring or adapter, making it compatible with candle-style E14 fittings and similar small-base fixtures.

Designed for multi-arm chandeliers, wall sconces and compact table lamps where individual shades dress each bulb, the midnight blue fabric filters light through its pleated construction to cast a soft blue-toned glow. The shade works as a replacement for existing clip-on shades or as part of a new fitting where each arm takes its own individual shade. At 11cm tall and 13cm at the base, it suits fittings where the shade sits 20-30cm away from the eye line.

The silk string material is wrapped tightly around a wire frame to maintain the pleated profile when the shade is clipped onto the bulb holder. The midnight blue delivers a deeper, cooler tone than standard navy, creating contrast when paired with polished chrome, brushed nickel or antique brass metalwork. The shade weighs 0.1kg, light enough not to unbalance chandelier arms or adjustable wall light heads.

What fittings does this clip onto?

The shade clips directly onto candle-style bulb holders, typically E14 fittings on chandelier arms and wall lights. It does not require a screw ring or adapter — the spring clip grips the metal bulb holder.

Can it be used on a table lamp?

Yes, if the table lamp has a small candle-style E14 bulb holder rather than a standard bayonet or E27 screw base. The shade is designed primarily for multi-arm chandeliers and wall sconces but will fit any compatible clip-on bulb holder.

What bulb wattage is recommended?

The shade is suitable for low-wattage LED candle bulbs, typically 4-6W LED equivalent. Higher wattages may cause heat buildup close to the fabric — check the bulb manufacturer's recommendations for enclosed or semi-enclosed shades.
