The 11cm drum lamp shade features dupion silk in an alabaster tone, positioned between cream and brilliant white with a soft natural sheen. Its compact diameter suits candelabra-style or small pendant fittings, while the silk construction allows light to pass through with a warm, even quality. Natural slubs in the dupion weave — where yarn threads twist together more thickly — add an organic texture to the surface.
This shade is made from the grandaddy of silk – Dupion - and is in a very elegant shade of alabaster, somewhere between cream and brilliant white, with that special Dupion sheen. Expect a few little imperfections - known as slubs - where two threads of silk yarn are twisted together a little more thickly than usual. Slubs happen, they add texture and are generally celebrated as a reminder that silk is a natural, organic and beautiful fibre. We hope you love and live happily ever after with your glorious Dupion silk shade.
