Know before you buy
No, this product is the shade only. You will need to purchase a standard pendant light cord set separately to install it.
To keep the shade in good condition, gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth or a duster. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning chemicals, as these can damage the natural fibers.
It is best to avoid placing this shade in high-humidity areas like bathrooms. Natural fibers can absorb moisture, which may lead to warping or discoloration over time.
Because each piece is individually handwoven by artisans, there may be slight variations in the weave pattern or fiber color. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the craftsmanship and ensure your shade is one-of-a-kind.
We recommend using an LED bulb, as they produce very little heat. This helps protect the natural fibers from drying out or becoming brittle over time.
