The straight empire lampshade is made from dupion silk woven from two distinct threads — the warp and the weft — which gives the fabric a natural iridescence. The antique rose colourway shifts between a mild pink and a deeper rose depending on the angle of light, a quality inherent to dupion's dual-thread construction. Occasional slubs, where threads twist more thickly, are a natural feature of the weave rather than a defect. The 40cm empire form provides broad, even light distribution.
