Medium Empire Lampshade – Natural | Handmade in the UK
With a stately silhouette and impeccable craftsmanship, our Medium Empire Lampshade in Natural is the definitive choice for substantial antique table lamps and floor-standing luminaires.
Individually handmade in the UK by skilled artisans, this shade represents the pinnacle of traditional gathered techniques. Every pleat is meticulously arranged and hand-stitched over a robust, well-proportioned frame, resulting in a classic "Empire" flare that balances architectural strength with a soft, tailored elegance.
Crafted from 100% natural linen and fully lined in pure silk, the material quality is immediately evident. The linen offers a beautiful, organic slub that brings texture to period interiors, while the silk lining provides a sophisticated opacity—ensuring the light is directed both upwards and downwards to wash your antiques in a warm, flattering glow.
Designed specifically for larger statement pieces, this medium-scale shade possesses the "presence" required to crown tall column lamps, heavy brass bases, or ornate ceramic vases. As with all our artisanal pieces, the subtle hand-finished details ensure that your lighting remains as unique as the antique it accompanies.
