The 14cm short drum lamp shade offers a compact profile in alabaster dupion silk, with a tone that sits between cream and brilliant white. Its reduced height gives it a squat, wide-brimmed appearance suited to smaller fittings, while the dupion silk surface carries a distinctive natural sheen. Occasional slubs — slight irregularities in the yarn twist — are characteristic of dupion silk and contribute to its textured, organic finish.
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.
