The 45cm drum lamp shade combines the lustrous quality of dupion silk with an alabaster tone that falls between cream and brilliant white. Its larger diameter makes it well-suited to statement pendants or floor lamp fittings, while the dupion weave provides a gentle, warm light diffusion. Natural slubs — where silk yarn threads twist more thickly — appear across the fabric, adding organic texture inherent to this type of silk.
This shade is made from the grandaddy of silk – Dupion - and is in a very elegant shade of alabaster, somewhere between cream and brilliant white, with that special Dupion sheen. 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.
