Description
A shade only and non-electric, this one takes its light from the fitting it dresses. The shape is a straight-sided drum, though a tall and slender one at 13cm across and 31cm high, worked in clear crystal against French gold. It reads as a slim column of light rather than a wide band, which is what marks it out from the usual drum. Lit, the crystal breaks the light into small bright points; unlit, it still holds the eye. We keep it on the shelf as an easy way of putting sparkle onto a plain fitting without altering anything else.
It is made for both hanging fittings and table lamps, so it earns its place in more than one room: a run of them above a kitchen island, a pair on bedside lamps, or a single one on a landing where something small and bright is wanted. It suits anyone who likes a little glitter without the commitment of a chandelier, and we would choose it where a ceiling sits low and a broader shade would crowd the room. The lamp comes from the host fitting rather than from the shade.
Crystal and metal, with the gold warming the clear stones rather than competing with them. It carries a one year warranty. For cleaning, let the lamp cool, then hold each crystal in a dry lint-free cloth and work round the shade in sections; household sprays and polishes do the crystal no favours. We stock the drum in polished chrome and antique brass as well, and the range runs to ball, bell, cone, cylinder and curved trapezium shades if you want to mix profiles over a long table. Keep to one metal across a room and the mix still looks deliberate.

Frequently Asked
Does this shade include a lamp or any wiring?
No. It is a non-electric shade only, so the lamp, holder and flex all belong to the fitting it goes on.
What is the largest lamp I can use with it?
The shade is rated for a lamp of up to 100W. Always work to the lower figure if the host fitting states less.
How big is it?
It measures 130mm in diameter and 310mm in height, so it is tall for its width.
What size is the opening?
The shade hole measures 27mm and 42mm, giving two options for pairing it with a suitable fitting.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.9kg, which is worth checking against the fitting you intend to pair it with.
What colour are the crystals?
They are clear, set against a French gold finish.
