Description
A wide, shallow drum in cream faux silk, 45cm across and modest in height, so it reads as a broad ring of soft light rather than a tall column. The fabric has a gentle sheen and warms the light passing through it, while the shape sends plenty down onto the table or floor below. Cream is the easiest of neutrals to live with, sitting quietly against painted walls, paper or timber.
A shade this broad wants space around it: a pendant flex over a dining table or a kitchen island, or a tall floor lamp standing beside a sofa. We reach for it when a deeper shade would sit too low in the sight line, and it suits rooms where the ceiling is not especially high. It is a shape that flatters a plain ceramic or metal base without competing with it. Fit a lamp of up to 20W, with an LED GLS the sensible choice behind fabric. The lamp itself is bought separately.
Faux silk gives the look of silk with more patience for everyday rooms, and the shade is light in the hand, easy to lift down for a dust. Use a lint-free cloth or the soft brush of a vacuum on low suction, and keep water, polish and sprays well away from the fabric. Dry indoor rooms suit it best: hallways, bedrooms and living rooms rather than a bathroom or a porch. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the Serena range in narrower cylinders as well, in black, white and grey along with two-tone pairings such as taupe with halo gold, so a smaller matching shade elsewhere in the house is easy enough to find.

Frequently Asked
What are the dimensions?
It measures 450mm in diameter and 150mm in height, making it a broad, shallow cylinder rather than a deep drum.
What lamp should I use with it?
An LED GLS (A60) is the recommended choice, rated up to a maximum of 20W. No lamp is supplied with the shade.
Is this real silk?
No, it is a faux silk fabric shade in cream. It has the soft sheen of silk but is far more forgiving in a family room.
How do I keep it clean?
Dust it with a lint-free cloth, or use a vacuum on low suction with the soft brush head. Avoid water, detergents and furniture sprays, as they can mark the fabric.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a one year warranty.
Will it suit a large floor lamp?
Yes. At 45cm across it is best matched to a generous floor lamp or a big pendant position, where its width has room to read properly.
