The straight empire lampshade combines a lightweight Taj silk construction with a matt, monochrome finish achieved through piece dyeing rather than woven colour variation. Its fine, low-slub weave produces a smooth, even surface with a delicate translucency that allows light to pass through with a soft, diffused glow. The dyed silk delivers a consistent cream tone throughout, distinguishing it from the contrasting thread effects found in Dupion weaves.
Our Taj silk a very delicate lightweight silk, without so many slubs and imperfections. It's colour is matt and monochrome since it is dyed, as opposed to our Dupion silk that has contrasting colours woven into it, and creates a very different effect. It has a lovely translucency and creates beautiful lampshades.
