Description

This silver grey silk string lampshade measures 25cm diameter at the top, 40cm at the bottom, and 25cm in height, giving a tapered empire profile that suits both pendant drops and floor lamp uprights. The shade is formed from continuous silk thread wrapped vertically around a wire frame, creating fine parallel lines that catch and diffuse light through the gaps between each thread.

Designed for use with pendant drops in living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas, or as a replacement shade for floor and table lamps with E27 fittings, the 40cm bottom diameter provides sufficient spread for ambient room lighting without overwhelming a typical side table or lamp base. The 25cm height balances visibility of the bulb inside with enough depth to soften glare when viewed from seated positions.

The silver grey tone reads as a cool neutral that pairs with both warm and cool colour schemes, working alongside white walls, grey upholstery, and metallic accent finishes. The silk thread construction gives the shade a 0.92kg weight, which is light enough for standard pendant cable drops but substantial enough to sit securely on a floor lamp harp without shifting. The vertical stringing creates fine shadow lines on surrounding walls when lit, adding subtle texture to the room.

Frequently Asked

What fittings does this shade work with?

The shade fits standard E27 pendant drops and floor or table lamp harps with a compatible diameter collar. The top opening is 25cm, so check your lamp base or pendant fitting diameter before ordering.

Can it be used on a pendant light?

Yes. The 0.92kg weight is suitable for standard pendant cable and ceiling rose fittings. The 40cm bottom diameter works well for pendants hung 60-80cm above a dining table or sideboard.

How is the shade cleaned?

Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, working vertically along the silk threads. For light dust, a dry microfibre cloth works. Avoid water or chemical cleaners as they may discolour or damage the silk.

Does light pass through the shade?

Yes. The silk string construction allows light to pass between the vertical threads, creating a diffused ambient glow and casting fine shadow lines on surrounding surfaces when lit.
