Elegant, timeless, and beautifully handcrafted, our Small Empire Lampshade collection has been designed to complement antique lighting and characterful interiors. Featuring a classic empire silhouette and traditional gathered construction, each shade is individually handmade in the UK by skilled artisans using heritage lampshade-making techniques.
Crafted from 100% linen and fully lined in silk, these heirloom-quality shades diffuse light softly and evenly, creating a warm ambient glow that enhances antique furniture, artwork, and decorative interiors. Every shade is carefully gathered and hand-stitched over a robust, well-balanced frame, resulting in a refined finish that celebrates traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The Small Empire profile is particularly well suited to table lamps, offering elegant proportions that complement both antique and contemporary lamp bases. Whether paired with porcelain, brass, silver-plated, wooden, or painted bases, these shades bring warmth, texture, and sophistication to any room.
Available in five carefully curated colourways, each selected to work beautifully with period interiors and decorative antiques.
As with all genuine handmade pieces, subtle variations in gathering and stitching are part of the character of each lampshade and reflect the artistry behind its creation.
