Know before you buy
A washer fitter is a metal ring that sits on top of your lamp's harp. To install, you simply place the shade's washer onto the harp and secure it by screwing your existing finial back onto the top.
This shade is designed for lamps with a standard harp and finial setup. The washer fitter has a 1-inch outer diameter and a 7/16-inch inner diameter, which is compatible with most traditional table and floor lamps.
Shantung silk has a subtle, slubbed texture that provides a soft, diffused glow. The included white liner helps reflect light downward and outward, ensuring the shade provides ample illumination for reading or ambient lighting.
A softback lampshade, like this one, is constructed by stretching fabric over a wire frame, which creates a more tailored, traditional look with decorative piping. Hardback shades are typically laminated to a rigid plastic backing for a smoother, more modern appearance.
To maintain the fabric, gently dust the shade regularly with a soft microfiber cloth or a clean, dry paintbrush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the silk and the structural integrity of the softback design.
