Stella Round Pleated Lampshade - Ivory, 25/30cm x 22.5cm

The Stella is a round pleated lampshade in ivory, measuring 250mm top diameter, 300mm bottom diameter and 225mm height. The shade is constructed from finely pleated fabric stretched over a wire frame, with vertical pleats running from top rim to bottom rim. A reducer ring is included for compatibility with different lamp base fittings.

Designed for table lamps, floor lamps and pendant conversions where a traditional or transitional aesthetic is required, the Stella suits bedside tables, occasional tables in living rooms, and console tables in hallways. The 300mm base diameter provides adequate light spread for reading without overwhelming smaller furniture pieces. The pleated construction diffuses light evenly through the fabric, softening the output from the bulb and reducing glare.

The ivory tone is a warm off-white that pairs comfortably with brass, bronze, wood-turned and ceramic lamp bases in both traditional and neutral-toned contemporary settings. The pleats add surface texture that catches sidelight during the day and creates subtle shadow patterns when the lamp is lit. At 4.3kg the shade has enough weight to sit securely on most lamp harps without tipping, though the weight suggests a reinforced internal frame rather than lightweight card construction.

What lamp bases does this shade fit?

The Stella includes a reducer ring for compatibility with standard UK and European lamp harps. The 250mm top diameter fits most table and floor lamp fittings, though you should confirm the harp height on your existing base allows adequate clearance for the 225mm shade height.

What wattage bulb can I use?

The shade is rated to 100W maximum, though most users pair it with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient lighting. Higher wattages risk overheating the fabric over time.

Can this be used on a pendant?

Yes. The shade can be fitted to a pendant conversion kit with the appropriate spider or duplex fitting, turning it into a ceiling light. The 300mm diameter suits pendants over side tables or in alcoves rather than large central ceiling positions.

How is the pleated fabric maintained?

Dust the pleats gently with a soft brush or microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the fabric or using household sprays. The pleats cannot be ironed if they collapse.
