The Ellen Merchant 16cm empire shade features a block-printed papavero 'poppies' design reproduced directly from an original linocut, retaining the natural imperfections of the hand-printing process. Its interlacing stem pattern draws on Arts & Crafts motifs, rendered in rusty red and burnt orange on a soft ivory linen ground. The small scale suits table lamps and wall fittings requiring a compact shade with detailed surface decoration.
