Description

Bowed Empire Lampshade

The Bowed Empire Lampshade is a timeless design with a softly curved silhouette. The gentle inward bow through the centre creates an elegant profile that feels balanced and refined. This traditional empire lampshade works beautifully in both period and contemporary interiors.

Available in sizes from 20cm to 55cm in diameter, this versatile fabric lampshade suits a wide range of lighting. It complements bedside lamps, table lamps, standard lamps, and floor lamps. The curved empire shape directs light downward while allowing it to diffuse evenly. This creates a warm and comfortable glow without harsh glare.

We handcraft each lampshade to order in our Devon workshop. Our team uses high-quality materials and traditional techniques to create a durable and luxurious finish. The result is a handmade lampshade that feels substantial and made to last.

Custom Bowed Empire Lampshade – Design Yours with Our Shade Builder

Our easy-to-use Shade Builder allows you to create a custom lampshade step by step. Start by selecting your preferred size. Then choose between brushed cotton or faux silk to suit your interior style. Both fabrics offer a refined appearance and excellent light diffusion.

Next, select your trim to complete your custom fabric lampshade. This detail adds structure and definition to the finished piece. You can also choose the fitting type. Select either a pendant fitting or a lamp base fitting to suit your lighting.

Handmade UK Lampshade with Premium Finishing Details

Each lampshade includes a soft white balloon lining. This lining softens the light and provides a clean internal finish.

All shades come with a dual-purpose fitting suitable for UK (B22 / Bayonet) and EU (E27 / Large Screw) lamp holders. Lampshades measuring 45cm and above are supplied with a shade carrier, as shown.

Every shade is handmade to order in the UK. Slight variations may occur, reflecting the craftsmanship behind each piece.
