Large Empire Lampshade – Natural | Handmade in the UK
Impressive in scale and classic in silhouette, our Large Empire Lampshade in Natural is the definitive choice for grand antique table lamps and floor-standing statement pieces.
Individually handmade in the UK by skilled artisans, this shade utilizes traditional gathered techniques to create a piece of significant presence. The 100% natural linen is meticulously hand-stitched over a robust, larger-scale frame, resulting in a beautifully structured flare that feels both architectural and elegantly soft.
Fully lined in pure silk, this shade is designed to offer a superior lighting experience in larger rooms. The linen provides a rich, organic texture that grounds the piece, while the internal silk lining acts as a premium reflector, casting an expansive, warm, and sophisticated glow. It is the ideal partner for substantial antiques—from heavy brass Corinthean columns to large-scale ceramic vases and wooden torchères.
With its 35cm base, this shade provides the necessary "heft" to balance taller or wider antique bases. As with all our truly handmade pieces, the subtle nuances in the gathering and stitch work are a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship, ensuring your lighting remains a unique and timeless focal point.
