Know before you buy
This shade is crafted from 100% pure linen fabric, which provides a natural texture and a soft, translucent quality that diffuses light evenly.
The shade is available in 13-inch, 16-inch, and 18-inch diameters. As a general rule, the height of your lamp base should be roughly 1.5 times the height of the shade to maintain proper visual proportions.
The shade is not washable. To maintain its appearance, we recommend gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum attachment with a brush head.
No, the shade arrives fully assembled and ready to be placed on your lamp base.
Because the linen is translucent, it provides a soft, diffused glow rather than harsh, direct light. This makes it an excellent choice for creating a warm, ambient atmosphere in living rooms or bedrooms.
