The 25cm drum lamp shade features dupion silk construction, delivering a lustrous alabaster tone that sits between cream and brilliant white. Its natural silk weave includes characteristic slubs — slight thickening where two yarn threads twist together — which add subtle surface texture and reflect the organic nature of the fibre. The dupion sheen diffuses light with a soft, warm quality suited to pendant or table lamp fittings.
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.
