Description
Gold foil laid over the outside face, white on the inside: a plain round cylinder with straight sides, broad rather than tall, so it sits low and reads as a band of light rather than a cone. The foil catches whatever light falls on it from the room, while the white interior keeps the light passing through it clean and neutral. At 40cm across it is a generous shade, and the shallow height keeps it from crowding a lamp base.
We reach for this one where a room needs a little warmth without another piece of brass or bronze on show. It works on a pendant flex above a dining table or a hall console, and equally on a tall table lamp or a floor standard with a wide enough base to balance it. Because it is non-electrical, the lamp comes from the fitting you pair it with: a GLS A60 LED up to 20W is the sensible choice, and we would keep to a warmer white to flatter the gold. Keep it to dry rooms indoors.
The gold is a foil finish on the outer panel, with a white laminate lining behind it, so the surface is smooth and even across the whole drum. Cleaning is a matter of a light pass with a clean, dry cloth, working around the shade rather than scrubbing at it; sprays, polishes and damp cloths will mark the foil, so leave them out of it. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same cylinder in a smaller size in both gold leaf and silver leaf, and in faux silk in black, grey and ivory pearl if you would rather have a softer surface. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size is this shade?
It measures 400mm in diameter and 180mm tall, so it is wide and shallow in proportion.
Which lamp should I use with it?
The shade is non-electrical, so the lamp belongs to the fitting it hangs on or sits over. An LED GLS A60 of up to 20W is the recommendation.
Can it be used as a ceiling pendant as well as on a lamp?
Yes. It suits a pendant flex and it also works on a table or floor lamp with a base broad enough to carry a 40cm drum.
What is the inside of the shade like?
White laminate, which keeps the light it passes through neutral rather than tinting it gold.
How should I clean the gold?
Dust it with a dry, soft cloth and nothing more. Water, sprays and cleaning products can lift or stain a foil finish.
Is there a matching shade in a different finish?
Yes. The same cylinder is available in silver leaf with a white lining in the smaller 300 x 170mm size, along with several faux silk options.
