Description

This Mantra silk string lampshade measures 19cm across the top rim, 30cm across the base and 20cm tall, with a tapered empire silhouette. The shade surface is built from silk threads wound vertically around the wire frame, creating a ribbed texture that runs from top to bottom. The aubergine colour sits between deep purple and burgundy, giving a warm, saturated tone that works in traditional, mid-century and contemporary rooms.

Designed to fit table lamp bases and pendant conversions with standard UK BC (bayonet cap) or ES (Edison screw) lamp holders, the shade suits bedside tables, side tables in living rooms, and buffet or console lamps in dining rooms and hallways. The silk string construction diffuses light through the gaps between threads rather than blocking it entirely, so the shade casts both direct downward light and a soft glow through its sides when lit.

The wound silk threads create a vertical ribbed pattern that catches light differently as the viewing angle changes, giving the shade visual texture even when unlit. The aubergine tone pairs with brass, gold and warm metallic lamp bases, and provides colour contrast against neutral walls and soft furnishings. At 400g the shade is light enough to sit on most table lamp bases without tipping, and the wire frame holds the tapered shape securely over time.

Frequently Asked

What lamp holder fitting does it take?

The shade fits standard UK BC (bayonet cap) and ES (Edison screw) lamp holders. It uses a spider fitting or duplex ring depending on the lamp base design. Check your lamp base fitting before ordering.

How much light does the silk string let through?

The wound silk construction diffuses light rather than blocking it. Expect soft glow through the sides and stronger downward light from the base. The shade works best with LED bulbs rated 6-10W for ambient light, or up to 40W equivalent for reading light.

Can it be cleaned?

Yes, but with care. Dust gently with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. The silk threads can snag if rubbed too hard, so avoid damp cleaning or vacuuming directly against the surface.

What size lamp base does it suit?

The 30cm base diameter suits table lamp bases between 15-25cm wide. On narrower bases the shade may look oversized; on bases wider than 25cm it may appear too small in proportion.
