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.
Tuffley was designed in the mid-19th century and was originally created for clothing textiles, reflecting the growing fascination with natural motifs during the era. This design, codenamed 'seaweed' in the design studio captures the essence of organic forms and nature-inspired beauty.
