Description
A straight-sided cylinder wrapped in faux silk, with a taupe face and a halo gold lining. The gold picks up the light passing down through it and warms the pool it throws onto a table or floor, while the taupe keeps the outside quiet against a painted wall. At 30cm across it is broader than it is deep, so it sits as a wide band of fabric rather than a tall drum. Those proportions suit a slim-stemmed base, where a deeper shade would swallow the lamp beneath it.
It works over a dining or coffee table on a pendant flex, on a bedside lamp base, or on a floor standard beside a reading chair. We reach for it in rooms that already carry plenty of pattern and colour, where the shade is asked to settle things rather than lead them. Being non-electric, it borrows its lamp from the fitting it goes on: we would choose a GLS A60 LED, rated no higher than 20W, which keeps the fabric cool and lights the gold lining evenly across.
Both layers are faux silk, taupe on the outside and gold within, and the shade holds a true round shape across that width. To keep it looking right, lift dust away with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery head on its lowest setting, and keep sprays and damp cloths off the fabric, as faux silk shows watermarks. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same cylinder at 40cm across, and in other pairings from the range, among them midnight black with green olive, and a gold leaf version lined in white if you want more shine on the inside. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
How big is the shade?
It measures 300mm across the diameter by 170mm tall, so 30cm wide with a shallow 17cm drop.
What lamp should go inside it?
An LED GLS A60 is the sensible choice, rated up to a maximum of 20W. The shade itself is non-electric, so the lamp is held by the pendant or lamp base you fit it to.
Can it be used on a ceiling pendant as well as a table lamp?
Yes. It is happy either hanging from a pendant flex or sitting on a table or floor lamp base.
What colour is the inside?
The lining is halo gold, which warms the light thrown downwards. The outer face is taupe.
How should I clean faux silk?
Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum upholstery attachment on the lowest setting. Avoid water, sprays and solvents, as the fabric can mark.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, it carries a one year warranty.
