Description
A wide, shallow cylinder in gold foil, lined in white so the light comes back warm rather than metallic. At 60cm across it reads as a broad band rather than a deep drum, and the foil catches whatever light falls on it during the day. The outer face has a soft, slightly broken lustre; the white laminate inside keeps the glow clean. We keep this one for rooms where a shade needs to hold its own without much depth to it, and it is not an electrical fitting in itself.
It suits a long dining table, a wide hall or a generous landing, hung on a pendant flex so the band sits at eye level and above. On a tall floor lamp base it gives the same broad line beside a sofa. It is one we reach for where a smaller drum would look lost in a big room. A frosted GLS LED lamp is what we would put in it, up to 20W, which is plenty for a shade of this width and keeps the lining from showing hot spots. Do let the lamp cool before you handle the shade.
The gold is a foil finish on the outer face, with white laminate bonded inside, so it wants a light hand: dust it with a clean soft brush, working around the drum rather than across it, and keep polishes and damp cloths away from the foil. Fingermarks show on gold more than on fabric, so lift it by the top edge. It carries a one year warranty. Smaller cylinders in the range come in this gold leaf finish, in a silver leaf version, and in faux silk. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What are the dimensions?
It measures 600mm in diameter and 220mm in height, so it is broad and shallow in proportion.
Which lamp should I use with it?
An LED of the GLS A60 shape, rated no higher than 20W. The lamp belongs to the pendant or lamp base the shade sits on, and is not supplied with the shade.
What is the shade made from?
A gold foil outer face over the shade panel, with a white laminate lining bonded inside.
How should I clean the gold foil?
Dry dusting only, using a clean soft brush or a dry cloth passed lightly around the drum. Avoid metal polish, sprays and damp cloths, as they can mark the foil.
Can it be used on a floor lamp as well as overhead?
Yes. It works on a suitable floor lamp base or hung from a pendant, whichever gives the shade room to sit at the width it needs.
Is there a smaller size in the same gold finish?
Yes, the range includes a 300 x 170mm gold leaf cylinder with a white lining, along with a silver leaf version at that size.
