Florence Rectangle Table Lamp Shade - Soft Bronze, 38 x 19 x 23cm

The Florence is a rectangular table lamp shade measuring 38 x 19 x 23cm, constructed from soft bronze pleated fabric over a wire frame. The pleated construction runs vertically in narrow ridges across all four sides, giving the shade a structured geometric form. A duplex ring fitting at the top allows the shade to sit on a standard ES or BC lamp holder without requiring additional hardware.

Designed for table lamps in living rooms, bedrooms and hallway consoles, the shade suits bases between 25-35cm tall to maintain balanced proportions. The 38cm length works on longer console tables or paired nightstands without overwhelming a standard bedside table. The rectangular footprint directs more light horizontally than a cylindrical shade, making it useful for task lighting positions where the light needs to spread along a desk or table surface.

The soft bronze fabric has a warm metallic undertone that casts a golden-amber glow when lit with a warm-white bulb. The pleated fabric diffuses the light evenly without creating harsh shadows or hotspots, while the bronze tone warms cooler bulb temperatures. The shade accepts bulbs up to 60W (LED, halogen or filament) and weighs 0.44kg, light enough to sit on ceramic, wood or metal bases without requiring additional counterbalance.

What lamp holder fitting does this shade use?

The Florence has a duplex ring fitting at the top, which sits directly on standard ES (E27 Edison screw) or BC (B22 bayonet cap) lamp holders. No additional carrier or spider fitting is needed.

What bulb wattage is recommended?

The shade accepts bulbs up to 60W. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for reading or ambient lighting without overheating the fabric.

What base height works best with this shade?

The 23cm shade height suits table lamp bases between 25-35cm tall to maintain balanced proportions. Taller bases risk making the overall lamp top-heavy; shorter bases may look squat under the 38cm length.

Can the pleated fabric be cleaned?

Dust the pleats gently with a soft dry brush or use a vacuum cleaner with a low-suction upholstery attachment. Avoid water or cleaning sprays, which may stain the fabric or damage the wire frame beneath.
