This is the extra large, the deepest of the four as well as the widest: 26cm tall and 46cm across. At that scale the taper is very gentle and the shade reads as a solid block of warm brown, with the washed pile catching light unevenly across a much larger face than the smaller sizes offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shade this size decides the proportion of whatever it sits on, so it wants a substantial floor lamp base or a pendant hanging alone, and it will overhang most table lamps. Depth matters as much as width here: at 26cm the lampholder is out of sight from any normal angle, and a great deal of the light stays inside the velvet, leaving mainly through the open ends. In a corner that gives a strong pool and a strong wash with the middle of the room left to something else. It weighs 0.71kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe velvet and linen are stitched by hand over an iron frame, so the pile lies differently on each one. The Mendai range runs from small to extra large in this mocha and again in a moss green. No bulb, base or fitting is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVelvet, Linen \u0026amp; Iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMocha\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLampshade use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTable Lamps, Floor Lamps \u0026amp; Ceiling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.71kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat base does the extra large need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA substantial one. At 46cm across it wants a floor lamp base or a wide table lamp; on anything smaller it overhangs the surface and dominates the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it light a room on its own?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot the middle of one. A deep velvet shade sends light out of the open top and bottom rather than through the fabric, so it lights what is directly below and above it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the inside velvet as well?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the lining is natural linen. It is what stops the reflected light going muddy under a brown shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA soft bristle brush, a microfibre cloth or a lint roller for dust.
