Description

This silk string lampshade is a 19/30cm truncated cone with a 20cm height, constructed from tightly pleated midnight blue fabric. The shade measures 190mm at the top rim, 300mm at the base, and weighs 400g. The vertical pleating creates fine linear texture across the surface, and the fabric diffuses light evenly when paired with a table or floor lamp base.

Designed for use on table lamps, floor lamp standards, and pendant conversions with a clip-on or screw-fit gimbal (not included), the shade suits bedrooms, sitting rooms, and hallway consoles. The midnight blue tone sits between navy and royal blue, darker than standard blue shades but lighter than black, providing colour without blocking too much light. The fabric's sheen responds to ambient light during the day, showing slightly different saturation depending on window direction.

The pleated construction maintains its shape without internal wiring by using a bonded fabric that holds its creases. The top and base rims are reinforced with a metal frame hidden inside the fabric edge, preventing the fabric from collapsing under its own weight. The shade pairs comfortably with chrome, brushed nickel, and polished brass lamp bases, and with ceramic or wood bases where the blue provides a colour accent.

The 400g weight sits within the range most lamp bases can carry without additional support. The hidden metal frame at the top and base rims keeps the 190mm and 300mm openings true, so the shade holds its truncated cone shape over time. The 1 year warranty covers manufacturing faults across normal indoor use on table and floor lamp bases.

Frequently Asked

What fitting does the shade require?

The shade requires a separate gimbal or spider fitting to attach to a lamp base. Common UK fittings include a bayonet clip (for European lamp bases), a screw-fit gimbal (for threaded lamp bases), or a spider fitting (for harp-style bases). The fitting is not included with the shade.

What wattage bulb can be used?

Maximum bulb wattage depends on the lamp base and fitting used. For fabric shades of this size, a maximum of 40-60W incandescent equivalent (6-10W LED) is typical to prevent overheating. Check the lamp base specification and keep the bulb at least 50mm below the top rim of the shade.

How is the shade cleaned?

The pleated fabric attracts dust in the creases. Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, or a clean, dry microfibre cloth to wipe gently along the pleats. Do not use water or spray cleaners, as fabric shades can stain or shrink when wet.

Can it be used on a pendant fitting?

Yes, if paired with a pendant conversion gimbal or spider fitting. The shade's top diameter of 190mm is wide enough to accommodate most standard pendant lamp holders, but the fitting must be purchased separately and matched to the shade's internal dimensions.
