The 20cm empire lamp shade offers a compact hand-painted card construction with a tangerine ripple finish, applied by hand to produce a subtly mottled, textured surface. Its smaller empire silhouette tapers from a wider lower rim to a narrower top, concentrating light downward with a warm diffusion through the card material. Minor variations in the paint application ensure each shade has a distinct, one-of-a-kind appearance.
We love our hand painted shades. Each one is unique, and somehow the little imperfections in the paint work, and the slightly mottled look, add to the...well... perfection. Achingly simple, and in no way showy or brash, these gorgeous shades will feel at home in almost any environment.
