The 40cm straight empire lamp shade features a hand-painted card body with a scalloped lower edge, with each shade carrying its own unique variation in the painted finish due to the hand-applied process. The straight empire profile keeps an even width throughout, while the gold paintwork develops a naturally mottled appearance that distinguishes it from machine-finished alternatives. The scallop detailing along the base rim provides a subtle decorative element against the plain card construction.
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.
