The short drum lampshade features a dupion silk construction in a deep raven black, offering a high-gloss finish with the natural sheen characteristic of this silk variety. Its cylindrical drum form distributes light evenly from both the top and bottom openings. Occasional slubs within the weave add subtle surface texture, reflecting the organic nature of the silk fibre.
This shade is made from the grandaddy of silk - Dupion. And to think it all started out with a friendly little worm spinning its stuff. Dupion has a beautiful lustre that simply cannot be replicated from man made processes. We love this very glossy black silk. 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.
