The GP & J Baker Tuffley straight empire lamp shade features a gathered cotton construction in a distinctive aqua red colourway. The Tuffley pattern, originally designed in the mid-19th century for clothing textiles, draws on organic, nature-inspired motifs — internally referred to as 'seaweed' — giving the fabric a fluid, botanical character. The straight empire profile offers a more structured silhouette, while the gathered cotton finish adds surface texture and depth.
