Teal Velvet Drum Lampshade 28cm

A drum shade in deep teal velvet, lined on the inside with a silver metallic finish that bounces the light back out instead of absorbing it. The pile gives the outside a soft, slightly shifting depth of colour, while the silver interior keeps the light warm and bright rather than muted. It is a straightforward way to change the character of a lamp or a pendant without replacing the fitting underneath it.

The shade measures 28 cm across and 18 cm tall, a size that suits a table lamp base, a floor lamp or a ceiling pendant equally well. It arrives with a reducer ring, so the same shade fits Edison screw and bayonet fittings in both large and small sizes, covering E27, B22, E14 and B15 lamp holders. Fitting it is a matter of seating the ring on the holder by hand, with no tools and no electrical work involved.

This is a shade only: no bulb, lamp holder or wiring is supplied. Velvet is a textile, so pair it with a cool running LED bulb and keep well inside the maximum wattage marked on your own light fitting, leaving an air gap so the fabric never rests against a warm bulb. Let a bulb cool completely before handling the shade, dust it with a soft brush rather than a damp cloth, and keep it away from candles and other open flames.
