Description
This is a small decorative accessory for the outside of a shade: a slim upright motif in antique brass, tall and narrow, standing 20cm from top to bottom and around 5cm across at its widest. The finish has the warm, slightly darkened look of brass left to age, so it reads as an older piece of metalwork rather than a bright new one. Projection is shallow, so it sits close against the clip material and catches light along its edges instead of throwing a shadow across the cloth. The shade is not included: the photographs show the clip on a plain drum; the lamp shades are sold separately.
We reach for it where a plain shade wants a little detail without a pattern or a fringe. On a bedside pair, a hall console lamp or a table lamp in a sitting room, it ties a plain drum or empire shade to brass lamp metalwork and picks up other warm-toned pieces in the room. It suits anyone dressing shades to match a particular base rather than buying a decorated shade outright, and it looks as settled on cream linen as it does on something darker.
The piece is light in the hand, with the antique tone carried evenly across it. Keep it looking right with an occasional dry dust, and keep metal polish, cream cleaners and solvents away from it, as those lift the aged surface and leave the brass patchy. It carries a one year warranty. The same accessory is made in chrome, satin black, satin nickel, bronze and brown oxide if your lamp metalwork runs cooler, and in sizes to suit shorter and taller shades, so lamps of differing heights can still be dressed alike. It is non-electrical, a trim rather than a light in itself, so the lamp and holder stay with the fitting it decorates.

Frequently Asked
What size shade is it meant for?
It is sized for shades 20cm tall, measuring 200mm high by 50mm wide, with a shallow 10mm projection so it sits close to the clip.
Does it need wiring or take a lamp?
No. It is a non-electrical decorative accessory with no lamp holder of its own; the light comes from the lamp in the fitting it dresses.
How should I clean it?
A dry, soft cloth or a soft brush is all it needs. Polishes, cream cleaners and solvents will mark the antique brass tone, so leave them off.
What other finishes does the range offer?
Alongside antique brass, the same accessory comes in chrome, satin black, satin nickel, bronze and brown oxide.
Can I use several on one shade?
Yes. Spacing two or more evenly around a shade of the matching height gives a repeating detail; a single piece placed to the front is the quieter option.
