Description
This is a shallow curved cone in metal, 21cm across and shallow in depth, so it sits low and wide over a lamp holder rather than dropping around it. The pewter finish is a soft grey metal tone, and the sweep of the curve takes the hardness off the edge where the light leaves. Being non-electric, it is a shade and nothing more: the holder and the lamp belong to whatever fitting you put it on. We stock it alongside the curved over arm floor lamps in the same range, which are sold without shades for exactly this reason.
A shallow cone pushes light down and outwards in a broad pool, which makes it useful over a reading chair, at the end of a sofa, or on a table lamp base beside a bed. It suits rooms where a deep drum would look heavy, such as a small sitting room, a hallway console or a desk tucked into a bedroom corner. For the lamp beneath it we would reach for an LED in the rounded GLS A60 shape or the slimmer tubular T45. Since the light is thrown downwards, the lamp itself is in view from below, so a frosted envelope is worth having rather than a clear one.
It is metal throughout, painted in pewter, and light enough at this width to lift on and off with one hand. Dust it with a dry soft cloth, and for marks use a barely damp one and dry it straight after; cream cleaners and scouring pads will dull the paint, so keep them well away. It carries a one year warranty. The same shallow cone is offered in satin black, satin nickel and silver, painted antique brass, painted antique copper, painted bronze and a beige stone, and there is a wider 30cm version in most of those finishes if you want more spread from a floor lamp. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size is this shade?
It measures 210mm in diameter and 70mm in height, so it is wide for its depth and reads as a shallow cone rather than a bowl.
How big is the opening at the top?
The shade hole measures 42mm across.
Does it come with a lamp holder or flex?
No. It is a non-electric shade, so the holder, flex and lamp all come from the host fitting.
Which lamp shape works best with it?
An LED in the GLS A60 or tubular T45 shape suits the proportions. A frosted envelope is kinder to the eye, as the lamp is visible from below.
How should I clean the pewter finish?
A dry soft cloth for dust, and a barely damp cloth followed by an immediate dry for fingermarks. Avoid abrasives and solvent-based cleaners, which will mark the paint.
Is there a larger size in the same shape?
Yes, a 300mm version of the same shallow curved cone is made in several finishes.
