Description

Bowed Empire Candle Shade

The Bowed Empire Candle Shade is a timeless choice for traditional lighting. Handmade in Devon by Imperial Lighting, each shade is carefully crafted using classic techniques. The gently curved empire shape creates a soft and elegant silhouette that works beautifully in both period and modern interiors.

This traditional lampshade is finished in neutral ivory fabric with matching trim. As a result, it blends easily with many colour schemes. The bowed shape allows light to spread evenly while still directing it downward. Therefore, it provides a warm and comfortable glow without harsh glare.


Traditional Curved Design

The curved profile of this Bowed Empire Candle Shade makes it ideal for wall lights, chandeliers, and candle-style table lamps. It fits neatly over candle bulbs and helps soften exposed light sources. In addition, its balanced proportions ensure it looks refined rather than bulky.

This candle lampshade pairs well with brass, antique metal, painted finishes, and crystal fittings. For example, it works beautifully in heritage homes, country houses, hotels, and classic living spaces. However, it can also add softness to more contemporary interiors.


Sizes and Handmade Quality

The Bowed Empire Candle Shade is available in a range of sizes to suit different fittings. This makes it easy to select the correct option for your wall light or chandelier arm.

Each shade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop. Because we use quality fabric and careful construction, every piece has a neat and durable finish. Slight variations in fabric texture may occur. However, these small differences add character and confirm the handmade nature of the product.

All shades are designed to fit standard candle fittings.
