Florence 36cm Round Table Lamp Shade - Soft Bronze

The Florence is a 36cm diameter round table lamp shade in soft bronze fabric with a vertical pleated texture that runs from the top rim to the bottom. The fabric construction over a metal frame gives the shade a structured drum profile with a gentle taper, and the soft bronze finish produces a warm golden glow when lit from within.

Designed to fit standard ES (E27) or BC (B22) lamp bases, the Florence suits bedside tables, side tables in living rooms, and console tables in hallways where a larger shade (36cm diameter is substantial) provides ambient light without direct glare. The 23cm height balances the width, giving the shade a proportional profile that sits comfortably on lamp bases between 30-45cm tall. The vertical pleating adds visual texture and softens the light output, diffusing it evenly through the fabric rather than creating hard shadows.

The soft bronze colour is a warm metallic tone that sits between gold and copper, pairing well with brass, antique brass, dark wood, and walnut lamp bases. The fabric weave is fine enough to let light through while remaining opaque enough to hide the bulb and fittings inside. At 0.44kg the shade is light enough to sit securely on most table lamp bases without needing additional securing, though the fitting style depends on the specific base (ES or BC carrier ring sold separately if not included with your lamp base).

What lamp bases does this shade fit?

The Florence fits standard ES (E27 Edison screw) or BC (B22 bayonet cap) lamp bases using a carrier ring or spider fitting, which attaches the shade to the lamp holder. Check your lamp base type before ordering, as the carrier ring is not included with the shade and must match your base fitting.

What size lamp base does it suit?

At 36cm diameter and 23cm height, the Florence balances best on lamp bases between 30-45cm tall. Shorter bases may look overwhelmed by the shade width, while very tall bases (60cm+) may look top-heavy unless the base itself is substantial in diameter.

What bulb wattage is recommended?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 60W. For table lamp use, a warm-white LED bulb between 6-10W (equivalent to 40-60W incandescent) at 2700K-3000K provides comfortable ambient light without overheating the fabric.

Can the fabric be cleaned?

Fabric lamp shades attract dust and should be dusted regularly with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable on small areas, but avoid soaking the fabric or using household sprays, which can stain or discolour the soft bronze finish.
