Florence Cream Fabric Lampshade 38cm Round - Floor Lamp Shade

The Florence is a 38cm diameter round lampshade with a 26cm height, constructed from pleated cream fabric stretched over a metal frame. The vertical pleating runs from top to bottom, creating a ribbed texture that catches light along each fold and diffuses the glow from the bulb inside. The shade is designed to fit standard floor lamp bases with an E27 or B22 lamp holder (sold separately) and accepts bulbs up to 100W.

Suited to floor lamps in living rooms, bedrooms and reading corners, the Florence shade pairs with bases between 90-140cm tall to position the shade at armchair or sofa height. The cream fabric softens bright bulb light into warm ambient illumination, making it effective as evening room lighting rather than focused task light. The 38cm diameter gives enough presence beside a two-seater sofa or an armchair without overwhelming smaller rooms.

The pleated fabric is a silk-effect synthetic with a soft hand feel, giving the appearance of natural silk without the same level of maintenance. The metal frame at top and bottom holds the pleating taut and provides a bayonet or screw-fit attachment ring for standard lamp holder spiders. The cream tone works with warm metallics (brass, bronze, antique gold) and natural wood bases, as well as matt black or brushed nickel bases in contemporary settings.

Does this shade come with a floor lamp base?

No. The Florence is a replacement shade only. It fits standard floor lamp bases with an E27 or B22 lamp holder and a spider fitting that matches the internal ring on the shade. Bases are sold separately.

What bulb does it take?

The shade itself does not contain a bulb or lamp holder. It fits onto a floor lamp base that has its own lamp holder, which accepts bulbs up to 100W. Most users pair a cream fabric shade with a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb (2700K-3000K) for soft ambient light.

How is the pleated fabric cleaned?

Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, working along the direction of the pleats. For spot marks, a barely-damp microfibre cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric. Do not use fabric sprays or chemical cleaners.

What lamp base height does this suit?

The 38cm diameter and 26cm height work best on floor lamp bases between 90-140cm tall. This positions the shade at a comfortable height next to seating without overwhelming the proportions of the base.
