The 30cm straight empire lampshade is constructed from a vellum-effect material in grey, which closely replicates the translucent quality of hide and produces a warm, glowing light diffusion. Coloured red stitching runs along the edges and seam, adding a hand-finished detail that contrasts with the neutral grey tone. The straight empire form provides a structured, upright profile suited to a variety of lamp bases.
No, this is not actually vellum – stretched calf hide – but it makes a very good impression of it. It glows most delightfully, throwing off a beautiful soft light. Now, with the addition of coloured stitching along the edges and seam!
