Description
Faux silk in a quiet nude beige, made up as a compact rectangle with straight sides and crisp corners. The weave carries a low sheen rather than a shine, so it reads as fabric first and picks up only a little light along the edges. Inside, the moonlight lining keeps the glow soft and even. Because the shape is rectangular rather than round, it sits square against a wall or a mirror, which is often what a narrow shelf or console asks for. Being small, it flatters a slim base instead of competing with it.
We reach for this one on bedside lamps, dressing table lamps and the small ceramic or brass bases that live on a hall table. A pair either side of a bed gives a tidy, matching line, and the soft colour settles in easily with oak, linen and painted plaster, and it takes up little depth on a crowded bedside table. It also suits a short pendant flex where a wider shade would crowd the room, over a bedside alcove or a stairwell corner. We would choose an LED golf ball lamp for the host fitting, and 40W is the ceiling here.
Dust is the only real upkeep: a soft brush, or a vacuum on its lowest setting, drawn with the weave rather than across it, and nothing damp or sprayed on the fabric. Let the lamp cool before you lift the shade away. It carries a one year warranty. Elsewhere in the range we stock round cylinder shades in other sizes, including the same nude beige with a moonlight lining, along with plain black, white and grey, and organza in cream. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What are the measurements?
It is 200mm long by 120mm deep, standing 150mm tall, so it keeps to a small footprint on a bedside or console table.
Which lamp should I use with it?
An LED golf ball lamp is the sensible choice, with 40W as the maximum. The lamp belongs to the base or pendant you are pairing it with and is not supplied with the shade.
Can it be used on a pendant flex as well as a table lamp?
Yes. It is a dual purpose shade with a 27mm and 42mm opening, so it works either way round.
How do I keep the fabric clean?
Brush it gently with a soft, dry brush, or use a vacuum on its lowest setting. Keep water, polish and aerosol sprays away from the faux silk.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20 and is intended for dry rooms, so steam and splashes should be avoided.
What colour is the inside?
The outer face is nude beige and the interior is moonlight, which gives a pale, warm cast to the light.
