Description
A small piece of brightwork rather than a lamp: this chrome trim clips to the side of a fabric shade and draws one clean vertical line down it. At 60mm wide it is narrow, and it stands only a few millimetres clear of the cloth, so it reads as detail rather than as something added on. There is no flex, no lamp holder and nothing to connect, which means the shade and the fitting beneath it carry on doing their usual jobs.
It is cut to the height of a 22cm shade, running from top edge to bottom so the line looks deliberate rather than stranded halfway. We use it to lift a plain drum on a bedside pair, on a hall console lamp, or on a floor lamp shade that has gone a little flat next to chrome or polished nickel elsewhere in the room. It suits anyone who wants a shade to pick up the metal of the base without changing the fabric, and it is an easy way to bring a pair of mismatched lamps closer together.
The finish is a bright chrome over a light body that adds almost nothing to the weight of the shade. Keep it looking right with an occasional wipe using a dry, soft cloth; anything abrasive or any spray cleaner will dull the plating, and household polish is not needed. Since it does no electrical work at all, it asks nothing of the lamp it decorates, though steam and damp would mark the plating in time, so keep it to the drier rooms. It carries a one year warranty. We stock it alongside the Sigma round cylinder shades in faux silk, gold leaf and silver leaf, and it looks its best on the plainer of those. The shade itself is bought separately.

Frequently Asked
What size shade is this trim meant for?
It is intended for shades standing 22cm tall. The trim itself is 220mm high and 60mm wide, so on a shade of that height the line runs from the top edge to the bottom.
Is a shade included?
No. This is a decorative accessory on its own, bought to dress a shade you already have or one bought separately.
Does it need wiring, or does it take a lamp?
Neither. It is entirely non-electrical, with no lamp holder and no connection of any kind. The lamp is a matter for the fitting the shade sits on.
How do I clean the chrome?
A dry, soft cloth is all it wants. Avoid abrasive pads, scouring creams and spray cleaners, as these will take the shine off the plating.
How much does it add to a shade?
Very little. It weighs 0.04kg and projects only 10mm from the surface, so it sits close and does not unbalance a light fabric drum.
