The Porto empire lamp shade features hand-marbled paper crafted through a centuries-old technique, where paints and oils are dropped onto thickened water, then raked and stretched into unique patterns before being transferred onto paper. Each sheet is one-of-a-kind, as no two marbling results can ever be identical, giving every shade its own distinct character. The bold gold and white pattern is achieved across a smaller surface area, resulting in two visible seams as part of the construction. The empire silhouette tapers from a wider top to a narrower base, directing light downward with a defined spread.
