Know before you buy
This shade features a spider fitter attachment, which is designed to sit on a harp. However, the smaller version is specifically engineered to fit seamlessly onto rechargeable lamp heads, such as the Poldina Pro, without the need for a harp.
Because this shade is handwoven from natural rattan and seagrass, slight color variations are a normal part of its character. Each piece is unique, so the tone may vary slightly from the images shown.
Yes, there is a seam present on the backside of the shade. We recommend positioning this side toward the wall to maintain a clean, polished look in your space.
No, the harp and finial are not included. You will need to ensure you have the appropriate hardware for your specific lamp base, or use the shade directly with a compatible rechargeable lamp head.
While the standard design uses a spider fitter, a clip attachment is available upon request if your specific lamp base requires it.
