The GP & J Baker Tuffley empire shade features gathered cotton construction in a deep denim blue, drawn from a mid-19th century textile design originally conceived for clothing. Its straight empire silhouette suits a range of fittings, with the adjustable gimbal allowing precise directional positioning. The Tuffley pattern, internally codenamed 'seaweed', captures organic, nature-inspired forms through its flowing botanical motif woven into the gathered fabric.
