Elegant in scale and exceptional in craftsmanship, our Large Empire Lampshade collection has been designed for statement lighting and characterful interiors. Handmade in the UK using traditional gathered lampshade-making techniques, these heirloom-quality shades combine timeless design with the finest materials to create a beautifully warm and atmospheric light.
Each lampshade is individually crafted by skilled artisans using 100% linen and fully lined in silk. The fabric is carefully gathered and hand-stitched over a robust, well-balanced frame, creating a softly pleated texture and tailored finish that celebrates traditional craftsmanship. The silk lining enhances light diffusion, producing a warm, flattering glow that complements antiques, artwork, and thoughtfully designed interiors.
With its generous proportions and elegant flared silhouette, the Large Empire profile is particularly well suited to substantial table lamps, statement lighting, decorative urn bases, floor lamps, and antique furnishings that require a lampshade with greater visual presence.
Available in five carefully curated colourways, each shade has been designed to work harmoniously with period interiors, country homes, and sophisticated contemporary spaces.
As with all genuine handmade pieces, subtle variations in gathering, stitching, and fabric tension are part of the character of each lampshade and a reflection of the artisanal techniques used in its creation.
