Maxine Rectangular Lampshade Black 27/36cm x 24cm

The Maxine is a rectangular lampshade in black fabric, measuring 27/36cm along the base taper and 24cm tall. The shade tapers from a 36cm top edge to a 27cm bottom edge, giving it a classic truncated pyramid profile with a rectangular rather than circular cross-section. The black fabric is lined with a white interior layer to diffuse light and prevent the bulb from showing through the shade when lit.

Designed to fit standard E27 table lamp and floor lamp bases, the shade ships with a reducer ring that adapts it to different fitting sizes. The rectangular form suits contemporary and mid-century bases where a circular shade would feel mismatched, and the black finish pairs with metallic bases in brass, chrome or matt black, as well as ceramic and wooden lamp bodies. The 24cm height works on bases between 40-60cm tall without overpowering the proportions.

The fabric construction keeps the weight at 0.43kg, light enough that it will not tip a well-balanced base. The shade accepts bulbs up to 100W, though most users pair it with LED bulbs between 6-12W for ambient lighting in living rooms, bedrooms and home offices. The dark exterior absorbs upward light spill, directing most of the light output downward and sideways through the fabric.

What lamp bases does this shade fit?

The Maxine fits standard E27 table and floor lamp bases using the included reducer ring. It works on bases between 40-60cm tall where the 24cm shade height maintains good proportions.

Is the interior lined?

Yes. The black fabric exterior is lined with white fabric on the interior to diffuse the bulb light and prevent the light source from showing through the shade when switched on.

What wattage bulb can it take?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 100W. Most users pair it with LED bulbs between 6-12W, which provide adequate ambient light without generating excessive heat inside the fabric shade.

Does the rectangular shape suit round bases?

The rectangular form pairs best with lamp bases that have angular or linear features rather than purely circular profiles. It works well with tripod bases, square-column bases, and contemporary ceramic designs where the rectangular shade complements the geometry.
