Willow Cream Fabric Lampshade - 26/30cm x 19cm

The Willow is a cream fabric lampshade with a knife-pleated finish, measuring 26cm diameter at the top, 30cm at the bottom, and 19cm tall. The shade tapers gently from bottom to top, creating a classic drum profile that suits table lamps, wall lights and pendant fittings. The pleated fabric diffuses light evenly whilst adding vertical texture to the shade surface.

Designed as a replacement or upgrade shade for existing lamp bases, the Willow fits standard UK lamp carriers and pendant hangers with a non-electric fitting (the shade itself carries no wiring — it clips or slides onto a bulb holder or pendant ring). The 60W maximum rating allows use with most household bulbs including E27, E14 or B22 fittings, though the specific fitting compatibility depends on the lamp base or pendant suspension you pair it with.

The cream fabric tone provides warm light diffusion, softening the output from filament, halogen or LED bulbs and preventing harsh glare. The knife pleats run vertically from top to bottom, giving the shade a structured appearance under daylight and a gentle ribbed glow when lit. At 0.4kg the shade is light enough to sit on delicate table lamp bases without tipping, yet substantial enough to retain shape when handled.

What lamp bases does this shade fit?

The Willow is a non-electric shade, meaning it clips or slides onto the bulb holder or pendant ring of your existing lamp base or ceiling suspension. It fits standard UK lamp carriers and pendant hangers, but the specific fitting style (clip-on, spider, duplex, European ring) depends on your base. Measure the diameter of your lamp carrier or pendant ring before ordering.

What bulb does it take?

The shade itself does not contain a bulb fitting — that comes from the lamp base or pendant suspension you attach it to. The 60W maximum rating means you can safely use bulbs up to 60W within the shade, including E27, E14, B22, or other fittings depending on your base.

How is the fabric cleaned?

Remove the shade from the lamp base before cleaning. Use a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth to remove dust from the pleats. For marks, a barely-damp cloth with distilled water can be used, but avoid soaking the fabric. Do not machine wash or immerse the shade.

Can it be used on a ceiling pendant?

Yes, if your ceiling pendant suspension uses a compatible shade ring or carrier. The 19cm height and 26/30cm diameter suit pendant positions over side tables, bedside tables, or clustered in a row over a kitchen island or dining table.
