Description

This silk string lampshade measures 250mm top diameter, 400mm base diameter and 250mm height, with the shade body constructed from fine silk thread wound tightly around a wire frame. The dark brown silk is wrapped to create vertical striations that diffuse light softly when the lamp is on, casting warm ambient glow rather than directional task light.

Designed to fit standard BC or ES table lamp bases and floor lamp fittings with clip-on or screw-fit shade carriers, the shade works in bedrooms, living rooms and study spaces where warmer tones are preferred. The 400mm base diameter suits lamp bases between 200-350mm wide for balanced proportions, while the tapered profile prevents the shade dominating smaller side tables or narrower console positions.

The silk string construction shows visible texture under daylight, with each thread contributing to the overall weave pattern. When lit, the shade filters bulb brightness and produces a cocoon effect where light radiates outward through the gaps between threads rather than projecting sharp shadows. The dark brown finish pairs with walnut, oak and other mid-to-dark wood furniture finishes, and works alongside brass, bronze or matt black metallic lamp bases.

Frequently Asked

What fitting type does this shade require?

The shade is designed for clip-on or screw-fit shade carriers commonly found on BC (bayonet cap) and ES (Edison screw) table and floor lamp bases. Check your existing lamp base for the carrier type before ordering.

What wattage bulb is recommended?

Use LED bulbs between 6-10W for ambient lighting. The silk string construction diffuses light effectively, so high-wattage bulbs are not needed and may cause overheating. Stick to bulbs rated for enclosed or semi-enclosed shades.

How is the shade cleaned?

Dust the shade regularly with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the silk thread. Do not use chemical cleaners or spray polishes.

Does the shade come fully assembled?

Yes. The shade arrives pre-assembled and ready to fit onto a compatible lamp base. No additional assembly or tools are required.
