The 35cm straight empire lamp shade combines hand-painted card construction with a straight-sided silhouette, producing a broader, more uniform light spread than a tapered form. Each shade carries a tangerine ripple finish applied by hand, resulting in a slightly mottled surface where no two pieces are identical. The card material provides a warm diffusion of light, while the straight empire profile offers a clean, structured outline.
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.
