Description
Faux silk in a soft ivory pearl, made up as a plain cylinder with the same width top and bottom. A white laminate lining sits behind the fabric, so the light comes through clean rather than tinted, and the colour you see unlit is close to the colour you get once the lamp is lit. At 30cm across and 25cm deep it is a taller cylinder than the usual shallow drum, which gives a lamp base more presence and keeps the lamp holder well covered.
We reach for a shade like this in rooms that already have plenty going on: on bedside lamps, on a console lamp in a hallway, or over a dining table where you want the light on the table rather than washed across the ceiling. Ivory is the easy choice, warm enough to sit happily with cream walls and oak, quiet enough not to argue with a strong wallpaper or a busy rug. It works as well on a floor lamp as it does on a pendant.
The faux silk has a fine sheen to it, and the laminate behind gives the shade its body and its shape. Run a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery head on low suction over it now and then, and blot rather than rub if something marks the fabric, as the lining does not take kindly to water. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the Sigma cylinders in grey and black as well as ivory pearl, plus gold leaf and silver leaf versions with a white lining, and dual-colour shades if you would rather have a coloured glow inside. No lamp comes with the shade; we would put an LED GLS lamp under it.

Frequently Asked
What size lamp can I use with this shade?
It is rated for a lamp of up to 20W. An LED GLS (A60) is the sensible choice and stays well within that.
Is a lamp included?
No. The shade is non-electrical, so the lamp comes from the fitting or lamp base you pair it with.
What are the exact dimensions?
300mm in diameter and 250mm in height, weighing around 0.4kg.
What is the lining like?
A white laminate, which keeps the light neutral and gives the cylinder its firm shape.
How do I clean it?
Dust with a soft brush or a vacuum on the lowest suction. Spot marks should be blotted gently; do not soak the fabric or the laminate behind it.
Does it come in other colours or sizes?
Yes, the Sigma cylinders also come in grey and black, in gold leaf and silver leaf with a white lining, and in dual-colour combinations.
