Wrinkle Clip-On Lampshade Aubergine - 8/13cm x 13cm

The Wrinkle clip-on lampshade is an 80/130mm tapered fabric shade in aubergine with a textured, wrinkled surface finish. The shade clips directly onto candle-style bulbs (E14 or SES) without requiring a shade carrier or ring, making it suitable for wall lights, chandelier arms and table lamps where the bulb extends vertically from the fitting.

Designed for decorative lighting where the shade itself becomes part of the aesthetic, the wrinkled fabric surface catches and reflects light with subtle tonal variation as the folds and creases shift under different viewing angles. The aubergine colour is a deep purple-brown that reads warm under incandescent or warm-white LED light, and pairs with brass, bronze, antique finishes and dark wood interiors. The 130mm height and 130mm base diameter suit standard chandelier proportions and wall sconce scales without overwhelming smaller fittings.

The shade is lined internally to diffuse light and prevent the bulb from showing through the fabric. The clip-on fitting grips the bulb body securely, though positioning the shade requires care to ensure it sits level and does not contact the hot bulb surface during use. Maximum recommended wattage is 40W for incandescent bulbs; LED equivalents of 4-6W provide sufficient light output without heat build-up. The fabric is not fire-retardant treated, so maintaining clearance from the bulb is critical.

What bulb does it fit?

The shade clips directly onto E14 or SES candle-style bulbs. It does not require a shade carrier or separate fitting ring. The clip grips the metal body of the bulb, so the shade sits independently on the bulb itself rather than being supported by the lamp frame.

Can I use LED bulbs?

Yes. LED candle bulbs rated 4-6W produce sufficient light for decorative use and generate far less heat than a 40W incandescent, reducing the risk of fabric damage from prolonged contact with warm air around the bulb.

How is the wrinkle finish created?

The fabric is deliberately pleated and creased during manufacture to create the textured surface. This is a permanent finish rather than accidental wrinkling, and it gives the shade visual depth and tonal variation under light.

Is the shade suitable for bathrooms?

The shade carries no IP rating and is not moisture-resistant. It is suitable for dry interior locations only, and should not be used in bathrooms, kitchens near steam sources, or outdoor locations.
