Inside, a luxurious silk lining serves as a premium reflector. In this larger scale, the silk lining is essential, ensuring an expansive and flattering diffusion of light that washes the room in warmth. It is the perfect accompaniment for grand-scale antiques—from tall silver-plated candlesticks and large porcelain vases to substantial carved wood bases.
With its 35cm base, this Large Empire profile offers the necessary scale to balance grander interiors and floor-standing lamps. As with all our truly handmade pieces, the subtle variations in the gathering and fine hand-stitching are a hallmark of authentic British craftsmanship, ensuring your lampshade is as unique as the antique it crowns.
