Description
A straight-sided cylinder in clear crystal with antique brass, this is a small shade at 15cm across and 24cm tall, so it brings sparkle without taking over a room. Clear crystal catches and splits light rather than diffusing it, giving a brighter, more faceted glow than any fabric shade will. It is non-electric and supplied as the shade alone, made to dress a fitting you already own or one chosen alongside it.
We reach for shades of this sort where a room wants a little glitter close to eye level: on bedside lamps, above a kitchen island, or in a narrow hallway where a larger shade would crowd the space. It works either hung from a suspension or sat on a lamp base, so the same piece can serve as a pendant in one room and a table lamp in another. Because the crystal is clear, keep the lamp modest; 20W is the ceiling, and an LED GLS is the sensible pick. The lamp belongs to the fitting rather than the shade, so it is not supplied here.
The metalwork wears an antique brass finish, a warmer and quieter gold than a polished silver tone, with the crystal clear throughout. Both parts show fingermarks, so we keep a dry lint-free cloth by for the crystal and give the brass only the lightest wipe, dried straight away, with nothing abrasive and no household sprays near it. Keep it to dry rooms indoors, well clear of steam and splashing. It carries a one year warranty. The Kudo range runs through a family of shapes, and we stock the ball, bell and drum in this same antique brass, while the cylinder is also offered in polished chrome and French gold if the room calls for a cooler or a brighter metal.

Frequently Asked
Does this shade include a lamp or any electrical parts?
No. It is a non-electric shade only, with no socket, flex or lamp. All of that comes from the host fitting it is used on.
What size is it?
150mm in diameter and 240mm tall, which puts it in the small bracket, and it weighs about 1kg.
What lamp should the host fitting take?
An LED GLS A60 is the recommended choice, with a maximum of 20W. Keeping the wattage low matters here because the crystal is clear rather than diffusing.
Can it be used both as a pendant shade and on a table lamp?
Yes, it is a dual mount shade, so it can be hung or sat on a base. The shade hole measures 27mm and 42mm.
How should the crystal be cleaned?
A dry lint-free cloth for the crystal, and the barest damp wipe on the brass, dried immediately. Avoid abrasive pads, solvents and general household sprays.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and belongs in dry indoor rooms, away from steam and moisture.
