Know before you buy
This shade features a standard US spider/washer fitting, making it compatible with most buffet lamps, floor lamps, and swing-arm sconces that utilize a harp and finial setup.
These shades are crafted from paper and are not washable. We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle duster to remove dust periodically.
Because the shade is made of paper, we strongly recommend using a warm LED bulb. LEDs produce significantly less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, which helps preserve the integrity of the paper material.
No, the shade arrives fully assembled and ready to install. Simply attach it to your existing lamp harp using the spider fitter and secure it with your finial.
The coolie shape features a wide bottom diameter of 15 inches, which allows for a broader spread of light downward. This makes it an excellent choice for task lighting on a desk or creating a cozy, focused pool of light near a reading chair.
