Description
Black faux silk, drawn over a shallow oval rather than a full round, so the shade sits neatly against a wall or in the narrow space beside a bed. The lining is a white laminate, which keeps the light coming through clean and bright rather than tinted. At 11cm across its narrow side it is a small shade, taller than it is deep, with a quiet upright shape that flatters a slim lamp base.
We use shades like this on bedside lamps where a round one would overhang the edge of the table, and on a hall console pushed close against the wall. It is non-electric, so it takes its light from whatever you pair it with, whether that is a table lamp or a flex hung as a pendant. A golf ball LED is the sensible choice inside something this size, and 40W is the ceiling. Keep it to dry rooms indoors; a bathroom or a porch is not its place.
The faux silk has a soft sheen that reads as fabric rather than plastic, and the black holds its depth under warm light. For care, run a soft brush or a low suction upholstery tool over the outside now and then, and lift dust from the lining the same way; avoid sprays and damp cloths, which mark faux silk badly. It carries a one year warranty. The wider Serena range runs to round cylinder shades in black, white, grey and ivory pearl, along with organza versions in black and cream, if you want something rounder elsewhere in the same room. The lamp itself comes from the fitting you choose.

Frequently Asked
What are the dimensions of this shade?
It measures 180mm along the long side of the oval, 110mm across the short side, and 150mm tall.
What size lamp should I use with it?
A golf ball LED is the recommended choice, with a maximum of 40W. The lamp is supplied by the fitting you pair the shade with.
What colour is the inside?
The outer fabric is black and the inner face is a white laminate, which reflects light back rather than colouring it.
Can it be used on a pendant as well as a table lamp?
Yes, it is a dual mount shade, so it suits either use.
What size is the aperture?
The shade hole measures 27mm and 42mm.
How should I clean it?
Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool on low suction. Faux silk marks easily, so keep water, damp cloths and cleaning sprays away from it.
