Description
A small rectangular shade in black faux silk, with a white laminate lining that bounces the light back down rather than tinting it. The four flat sides give a crisp, boxy outline that sits well against straight-edged furniture, and the cloth carries the soft sheen of silk without the upkeep. Black keeps the sides subdued, so the brightness falls where you want it and the shade itself stays a quiet shape in the room.
We reach for this one on bedside and side-table lamps, where a wider shade would swamp a slim base, and it suits a small pendant over a console or a narrow shelf just as well. It takes an LED golf ball lamp of up to 40W, which keeps both the output and the load sensible in a shade this size. In a dark scheme it reads as a neat block of colour; in a pale room it draws a line of contrast at lamp height without dominating the table.
Faux silk is drawn over the shade with the white laminate liner behind it, and the black finish is even across all four panels. Keep it right by dusting with a soft brush or the upholstery tool on a vacuum, and treat any mark with a barely damp cloth, dabbed rather than rubbed so the sheen is not scuffed; let it dry fully before the lamp goes back in. It carries a one year warranty. No lamp is supplied. If the rectangle is not the shape you are after, the range also runs to round cylinders in two sizes, in black, white, grey and ivory pearl, plus organza versions in cream and black.

Frequently Asked
What size is this shade?
It measures 200mm long by 120mm wide and stands 150mm tall, so it is a genuinely small shade suited to slim lamp bases and compact pendants.
Which lamp should I use with it?
An LED golf ball lamp is the sensible choice, rated no higher than 40W. The shade is non-electric and arrives without a lamp.
Can it be used on a table lamp and on a pendant?
Yes. It is made for dual mount use, so it works over a table lamp holder or hung from a ceiling pendant.
What is the shade hole size?
The shade hole is 27mm, with a 42mm option, so it fits the common holder sizes found on British table lamps and pendant sets.
How should I clean the faux silk?
Dust it regularly with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery tool. For marks, use a barely damp cloth and dab gently, then allow it to dry completely. Do not soak the fabric or use solvents.
Is the inside black as well?
No. The outer face is black and the lining is a white laminate, which reflects light back through the opening rather than colouring it.
