Victoria Round Lampshade - Ivory Cream, 20 x 16cm

The Victoria is a 200mm diameter drum lampshade with straight sides and a 160mm height, covered in ivory cream fabric with a white laminate inner lining. The shade fits standard 22mm lamp holders via a reducer ring supplied with the fitting, making it compatible with most table lamp bases and wall light fittings.

Designed for bedside lamps, console table lamps and paired wall lights, the Victoria diffuses light evenly through the fabric weave while the white inner lining reflects additional brightness downwards and outwards. The 200mm diameter suits compact bases without overwhelming a bedside table or narrow console, and the straight cylindrical profile keeps the visual weight low in rooms with multiple lamps.

The ivory cream tone sits between pure white and warmer beige, giving enough warmth to soften cool-toned interiors while remaining neutral enough to pair with existing warm schemes. The fabric surface has a fine plain weave with no texture or pattern, keeping the focus on the light it diffuses rather than the shade itself. At 230g the shade is light enough to sit on delicate vintage lamp bases without affecting stability.

What size lamp base does this shade suit?

The 200mm diameter and 160mm height work best on table lamp bases between 250-350mm tall. On taller bases the shade can look undersized; on shorter bases it may dominate the proportion. The shade suits compact bedside and console table lamps rather than larger statement floor or table lamps.

What bulb wattage is recommended?

The shade is rated to 60W maximum. For most bedside or reading use, a 6-10W warm-white LED bulb (equivalent to 40-60W incandescent) provides sufficient light without overheating the fabric. Higher wattages risk discolouration of the cream fabric over time.

Does the shade come with a fitting adapter?

Yes. A reducer ring is included to fit the shade onto standard 22mm lamp holders, which is the most common size in UK table and wall lamp fittings.

Can it be used on a ceiling pendant?

While the shade physically fits a ceiling pendant holder, the straight drum design with no downward taper means it provides minimal directional light downwards. It works better on table or wall fittings where the light spreads outwards and upwards as well as down.
