The Ellen Merchant 35cm straight empire shade features a block-printed papavero 'poppies' design rooted in Arts & Crafts tradition. Its interlacing, symmetrical stem pattern is reproduced from an original linocut, preserving every hand-printed imperfection for an authentic artisan finish. The linen construction carries a rusty red and burnt orange motif against a soft ivory base, combining tactile warmth with graphic detail.
