Black Empire Lampshade – Handmade Cotton Lamp Shade
Add timeless elegance to your lighting with our black empire lampshade, handmade in high-quality brushed cotton. Carefully crafted in our Devon workshop, this stylish shade features the classic empire profile, gently tapering from a wider base to a narrower top to create a balanced and refined silhouette.
The empire lampshade shape works beautifully with table lamps, floor lamps, and traditional lamp bases. Meanwhile, the deep black tone adds a bold yet versatile accent that complements both contemporary and classic interiors.
Each empire lampshade is handmade to order in Devon. As a result, every shade is crafted with care and attention to detail, ensuring excellent workmanship and long-lasting quality.
Customise Your Lining
You can personalise your black empire lampshade with several lining options to create the lighting effect that suits your room.
Choose from:
White PVC lining – maximises brightness and reflects light effectively, making it ideal for practical everyday lighting.
Natural cotton lining – softens the light and allows gentle diffusion through the fabric, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere.
Metallic lining (Gold, Silver or Copper) – this lining is opaque, meaning light does not diffuse through the lampshade fabric. Instead, the metallic interior reflects the light downward and outward, creating a more directional glow and a striking contemporary lighting effect.
Because of these options, you can easily tailor your black empire lampshade to suit both your lighting needs and your interior style.
