Description
A small cylinder of clear crystal held in a French gold frame, this is a shade on its own rather than a complete light. The crystal is cut and set in close rows so the light breaks up as it passes through, throwing small bright points onto the surfaces nearby. At 15cm across and 24cm tall it is a compact, upright shape, and the straight sides keep it looking tidy in a row rather than fussy.
We reach for shades like this where a plain glass or fabric shade would sit too quietly, over a kitchen island, a run of three above a breakfast bar, or singly beside a bed. It suits anyone building a light to their own measurements, since you choose the suspension, the drop and the finish of the fitting it hangs from. The warm gold tone works well against darker paint and timber, and against brass or gold ironmongery elsewhere in the room. It is intended for dry indoor rooms, so keep it away from shower zones and anywhere steam gathers.
The frame is metal in a French gold finish, with clear crystal pieces fitted throughout. Cleaning is best done with the power off at the wall and the shade cool: work over the crystal with a soft brush to lift dust from between the pieces, then a light wipe with a dry cloth, avoiding sprays that can dull the plating. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same cylinder in polished chrome and in antique brass, and the wider range runs to ball, bell, cone, drum and curved trapezium shades in the same crystal, so a set can be mixed by shape while the finish stays constant. The lamp belongs to the fitting you pair it with rather than to the shade.

Frequently Asked
What is the maximum wattage I can use with this shade?
Keep to a lamp rated no higher than 20W. An LED GLS A60 is the sensible choice, as it stays cool and suits the size of the crystal cylinder.
Does a lamp or a suspension come with it?
No. This is the shade only, so you will need a host fitting or lamp holder plus the lamp itself.
How big is it?
The cylinder measures 150mm in diameter and 240mm in height, and weighs around 1kg.
What size is the shade hole?
The aperture is 27mm, stepping to 42mm, which allows it to be used either way up on a suitable host fitting.
How do I keep the crystal bright?
Dust it regularly with a soft brush, then finish with a dry cloth. Avoid household cleaners and polish sprays, which leave a film on cut crystal and can mark the gold finish.
