Beautifully proportioned and expertly handcrafted, our Medium Empire Lampshade collection is designed to complement antique lighting and elegant interiors. Handmade in the UK using traditional gathered lampshade-making techniques, these heirloom-quality shades combine timeless craftsmanship with premium materials to create a warm and inviting glow.
Each lampshade is individually crafted by skilled artisans using carefully selected linen and a luxurious silk lining. The fabric is meticulously gathered and hand-stitched over a robust frame, creating the softly pleated texture and refined finish that characterise traditional handmade lampshades. The silk lining gently diffuses light throughout the room, producing a warm, flattering illumination that enhances antiques, artwork, and decorative interiors.
With its classic empire silhouette and generous proportions, the Medium Empire profile is perfectly suited to table lamps and statement lighting. Offering an elegant balance between presence and practicality, it works beautifully with antique brass lamps, porcelain bases, silver-plated lighting, and decorative period furnishings.
Available in five carefully considered colourways, each designed to complement traditional interiors, country homes, and sophisticated contemporary spaces.
As with all genuine handmade pieces, subtle variations in gathering, stitching, and fabric tension are a natural part of the craftsmanship and contribute to the unique character of every lampshade.
