The straight empire lampshade is constructed from dupion silk, a fabric known for its distinctive natural lustre that cannot be achieved through synthetic processes. The soft pewter tone provides a muted, versatile finish, while occasional slubs — where two silk threads twist together more thickly — add organic texture to the surface. These natural irregularities are inherent to the dupion weaving process and contribute to the fabric's character.
