Black Hessian Tapered Drum Lampshade

Imperial Lighting crafts this black hessian tapered drum lampshade by hand in Devon. We shape woven hessian fabric, often referred to as burlap or jute, into a clean tapered drum form. As a result, the lampshade delivers a bold yet balanced lighting option for residential and commercial spaces.

The woven hessian surface filters the light gently. Therefore, it creates a comfortable and evenly spread glow. At the same time, the black colour adds depth and definition to the room. For this reason, the lampshade works well in living areas, bedrooms and hallways. In addition, it suits hotels, restaurants, offices and reception spaces. The natural jute texture complements wood, stone, concrete finishes and dark metal accents.

Tapered drum shape, lighting performance and versatility

The tapered drum profile gives this black hessian lampshade strong visual structure. At the same time, it remains highly versatile. For example, you can use it as a pendant lampshade, table lamp shade or floor lamp shade, depending on your layout. When used individually, it creates contrast and focus. Likewise, when repeated, it brings cohesion to larger lighting schemes.

The refined shape also works with both decorative and minimal lamp bases. As a result, it fits easily into private interiors and contract environments.

Retro Drum sizes, proportions and applications

This black hessian tapered drum lampshade is available in sizes from 20cm to 60cm. This choice allows you to match the shade to your lamp base or ceiling height. Furthermore, we maintain consistent proportions across every size. Consequently, the lampshade retains a balanced appearance when used alone or across multiple fittings.
