Florence Round Table Lamp Shade - Cream, 36cm x 23cm

The Florence is a 36cm diameter round table lamp shade with a cream pleated fabric construction, standing 23cm tall. The shade features vertical pleating that runs from top to bottom, creating a textured surface that diffuses light evenly when paired with a standard table lamp base. The shade is non-electric, designed to fit over existing E27 or B22 lamp holders on table lamp bases up to 60W.

Designed for bedside tables, living room side tables and console surfaces, the Florence pairs with both metal and wooden lamp bases. The 36cm diameter suits medium-height lamp bases between 25-40cm tall, creating balanced proportions when the shade sits at roughly eye level from a seated position. The cream fabric softens the light output from the bulb beneath, reducing glare while maintaining enough brightness for reading or ambient lighting.

The pleated fabric construction gives the shade a textured appearance under daylight and when lit from within, with each vertical pleat catching light differently depending on viewing angle. The cream tone works with warm brass, brushed nickel, ceramic and natural wood bases, and pairs comfortably with neutral, warm-toned and pastel interiors. At 1.0kg the shade has enough substance to sit securely on most lamp bases without tipping, while remaining light enough for standard shade carriers to support.

What lamp base does it fit?

The Florence fits standard table lamp bases with E27 or B22 lamp holders. The shade sits on a shade carrier ring (not included), which clips onto the bulb fitting or lamp harp depending on your base design. Most UK table lamp bases use one of these two mounting systems.

What wattage bulb can I use?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 60W. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K), which provides sufficient light for reading without overheating the fabric or creating excessive brightness through the cream material.

What size lamp base does it suit?

The 36cm diameter works best with lamp bases between 25-40cm tall. On shorter bases the shade may look oversized; on taller bases it may appear too small. The combined height of base plus shade should be roughly 45-60cm for bedside or side table use.

How is the shade cleaned?

The pleated fabric attracts dust over time. Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, working gently along the pleats. For spot cleaning, a barely-damp white cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric or using sprays and polishes.
