Handmade Linen Lampshades

Discover our collection of handmade linen lampshades, crafted using traditional gathered techniques and finished with luxurious silk linings. Designed exclusively for Shackleton Fox, these heirloom-quality lampshades combine exceptional British craftsmanship with timeless design, creating a warm and inviting glow that enhances both period and contemporary interiors.

Each lampshade is individually handmade by skilled UK artisans using carefully selected natural linen fabrics and traditional hand-stitching methods. Built around strong, balanced frames and lined with fine silk, every shade is created to offer lasting durability, elegant proportions, and beautiful light diffusion.

Available in a range of refined colourways, including Natural, Blush with Natural Piping, Natural with Rosemary Piping, Ecru with Stucco Piping, and Ecru with Ink Piping, our collection has been thoughtfully designed to complement antique lamps, decorative lighting, and characterful interiors.

Whether paired with an antique table lamp, floor lamp, or statement lighting piece, these handmade lampshades bring warmth, texture, and sophistication to any room. Their understated elegance makes them particularly suited to period homes, country houses, and interiors where quality craftsmanship and timeless design are valued.

At Shackleton Fox, we believe in creating pieces designed to be enjoyed for years rather than replaced. Every lampshade reflects a commitment to traditional craftsmanship, exceptional materials, and enduring beauty.

Each lampshade is individually handmade using time-honoured gathered techniques, celebrating the artistry and integrity of fine craftsmanship. Built on strong, balanced frames and hand-stitched for durability, these shades are made to be lived with.
Handmade with Integrity

ABOUT THE SHADES

Each shade is carefully gathered and hand-stitched over a sturdy, well-balanced frame, ensuring structure, durability, and a beautifully tailored finish that will stand the test of time.

The interior is fully lined in silk, selected specifically for its ability to diffuse light softly and evenly. The result is a warm, flattering glow that enhances antiques, artwork, and thoughtful interiors alike.

No two shades are ever exactly the same, subtle variations are part of their charm and a hallmark of genuine handmade work.

Care & Longevity

With simple care, your lampshade will age beautifully over time.

  • Handle gently and always lift by the frame
  • Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight
  • Avoid damp environments
  • Use LED bulbs

LED bulbs produce minimal heat, helping preserve the integrity of the fabric, stitching, and silk lining while providing a consistent warm light.

Cleaning Instructions

• Dust regularly using a soft brush or lint-free cloth
• A vacuum with low suction upholstery attachment may be used carefully
• Do not wash or immerse in water
• Avoid chemical cleaners or sprays
