Clip-On Silk String Lampshade - Red Wine, 8/13cm x 11cm

This clip-on silk string lampshade measures 80mm diameter at the top, 130mm at the base, and 110mm in height, built from fine silk threads tensioned around a wire frame and finished in a deep red wine tone. The shade clips directly onto candle-style bulb fittings — typically E14 chandelier arms, wall lights with exposed bulbs, or small table lamps — without requiring a separate carrier or adapter ring.

Designed for multi-arm chandeliers, wall sconces and bedside lamps where a small shade is needed to soften bare bulb glare, the silk string construction diffuses light into a warm, tinted glow while allowing enough brightness through for reading or task use. The tapered empire shape directs light downwards and outwards, making it functional for lighting surfaces rather than just decorative. The clip-on fitting grips the bulb holder directly, so the shade sits stable once fitted and can be removed for cleaning or bulb changes without tools.

The red wine colour absorbs some of the light output, casting a warm amber-rose tone when paired with a warm-white LED or halogen bulb. The silk threads are wound tightly enough to give an even surface texture when unlit, but not so densely that the bulb disappears entirely when lit. At 0.1kg per shade the fitting adds minimal weight to chandelier arms, and the 80mm top diameter accommodates most standard E14 candle bulb holders without touching the bulb itself.

What bulb fitting does the clip attach to?

The clip-on fitting grips standard E14 (small Edison screw) candle bulb holders. It sits over the bulb holder itself, not the bulb, so the bulb must be installed before the shade is clipped on.

How much light does the red wine colour block?

The silk string construction diffuses and tints the light rather than blocking it entirely. Expect a warm amber-rose glow with roughly 40-50% of the raw bulb brightness passing through, depending on bulb wattage and colour temperature.

Can it be used on a table lamp?

Yes, provided the table lamp has an exposed E14 candle-style bulb fitting. The clip-on design works on chandelier arms, wall sconces and small table lamps where the bulb holder is accessible.

How is the silk shade cleaned?

Dust gently with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. The silk threads are delicate and should not be wiped with damp cloths or exposed to spray cleaners, as moisture can stain or loosen the thread tension.
