French & Hamptons Style
This tapered lamp shade brings a French provincial touch to any table lamp, its black cotton body gathered into soft, even pleats from a 16cm top down to a generous 36cm base. The scale suits a substantial base lamp in a living room, study or main bedroom, where it will cast a warm, diffused glow rather than a hard downlight. A ruffle trim in pale green gingham runs around both the top and bottom edges, softening the black cotton with a heritage, homespun detail that lifts the whole piece beyond a plain shade.
- Gathered cotton construction diffuses light gently, giving a softer glow than a hard-edged drum shade
- Tapered 16cm to 36cm profile suits classic urn or column lamp bases without overwhelming them
- Gingham ruffle trim at both edges adds a decorative, cottage-style finish rarely seen on plain black shades
- Iron frame construction keeps the shade light at just 0.45kg, easy to lift on and off for cleaning or globe changes
- Black cotton face works equally well against dark timber furniture or pale, painted interiors
A Tapered Cotton Lamp Shade With Gingham Ruffle for Hamptons and French Provincial Rooms
Pair this shade with a turned timber or ceramic lamp base for a look at home in a Hamptons bedroom or a French provincial-styled sitting room. The black cotton grounds a room with pattern or pale walls, while the gingham ruffle keeps the overall effect from feeling heavy, making it equally suited to a bedside table or a console lamp in a hallway.
