Our stylish ‘Made to Order’ lampshades available in a vast range of shapes, sizes and fabrics: perfect for creating a unique effect in your home. Each of our lampshades is carefully handmade at our Suffolk Workshop by our team of expert shade-makers. Silk dupion shades are always the most popular because pure silk is a uniquely beautiful fabric with a luxurious textured quality and richness that cannot be reproduced in other materials.
All our silk shades have a fabulous natural sheen and distinctive weave that makes them stand out from the rest, however, as a natural fabric they do need looking after as they can fade and deteriorate over time. Many of our gorgeous fabrics are also available as cut lengths and some as cushions, for a coordinated look. If you need a lampshade a little sooner, we also have a large range of popular
Ready Made shades which are generally in stock and available for quick delivery.
A 12w max LED only bulb should be used with this shade (we do not recommend halogen bulbs).
We strongly recommend that you order a swatch before ordering any of our fabrics to help you decide if it is right for you. To add a free fabric swatch to your basket, please select the recommended accessories icon. Silk Characteristics
As a natural fibre, silk dupion has a prominent, textured slub that is irregular in appearance. There may also be variations in tone or weave which are characteristic of pure silk but not to everyone's taste, especially if you are after a more uniform look. As a raw fabric, fading and deterioration may occur over time, especially in sunlight and is more noticeable in darker colours, so we do not recommend you use silk dupion for lampshades in or near a window. Please take a look at our lovely collection of faux silks which we have sourced for customers wanting the look and feel of pure silk in a more robust fabric.
