The Scarlet Stitches straight empire lamp shade features hand-painted card construction, giving each piece a uniquely mottled finish with subtle variations in the paintwork. Its 30cm straight empire silhouette provides a more upright, cylindrical form compared to a traditional taper, while the hand-applied paint layer creates natural tonal depth across the red surface. The card material offers a warm, diffused light quality, and the slight imperfections inherent to the hand-painting process contribute to its individual character.
We love our hand painted shades. Each one is unique, and somehow the little imperfections in the paint work, and the slightly mottled look, add to the...well... perfection. Achingly simple, and in no way showy or brash, these gorgeous shades will feel at home in almost any environment.
