The empire lamp shade is crafted from Tussah silk, a wild variety produced by Antheraea silkworms and woven using traditional Indian hand-weaving techniques. This process results in a naturally thicker, more textured fabric compared to cultivated silk, with characteristic slubs and irregularities woven into the surface. The lemon and lime colouring carries a natural golden sheen that becomes more pronounced under light, while the uneven texture gives the fabric a distinctive depth.
Zesty, joyful and unapologetically fabulous - this is a shade that knows how to make an entrance. Crafted from Tussah silk, woven in the traditional Indian style, and produced by wild Antheraea silkworms, this shade boasts a naturally thicker, more characterful handle than cultivated silk, along with a beautiful golden sheen that seems to glow from within! It’s prized for its unique, uneven texture – those charming slubs and irregularities that result from the hand-weaving process giving the fabric its unmistakable depth and soul.
