Know before you buy
No, the lampshade is sold as a standalone piece. You will need to provide your own cable, bulb, and lamp base to complete the setup.
The shade features a 1-inch opening for hanging. It is designed for smaller table lamps, so please measure your current lamp's fitter to ensure it is compatible with this opening size.
This lampshade is not washable. To keep it clean, we recommend gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth or a duster as needed to avoid damaging the natural fibers.
Because each piece is handcrafted by artisans, you may notice slight variations in the weave or shape. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the handmade process and make each shade unique.
The braided raffia is translucent, meaning it will cast a warm, soft glow throughout the room. It is best suited for creating a cozy, bohemian atmosphere rather than providing bright, task-oriented lighting.
