Cardinal French Drum Lampshade – Handmade in Devon
Our skilled team handcrafts this striking Cardinal French Drum Lampshade from high-quality brushed cotton in our Devon workshop. The gently tapered French drum shape offers a refined alternative to a straight-sided drum shade and creates a more tailored, elegant silhouette.
The rich cardinal red tone brings warmth, depth and confident colour to your interior. As a result, this Cardinal French drum tapered lampshade makes a statement in living rooms, bedrooms, dining spaces and hallways. Meanwhile, the subtle taper enhances both traditional and contemporary lamp bases, adding balance and sophistication to your space.
French Drum Lampshade Sizes for Lamps & Pendants
We offer French Drums in small, large and extra-large sizes, so you can style it with:
-
Table lamps
-
Standard lamps
-
Floor lamps
In addition, you can order this Cardinal tapered French drum lampshade as a ceiling pendant light shade. Simply select the “pendant fitting” option before checkout. Because of its versatile shape, it looks equally elegant on a lamp base or suspended from the ceiling.
Custom Lining Options
You can personalise your French Drum Lampshade with a choice of premium lining options:
-
White PVC – provides brighter, practical illumination
-
Natural cotton – creates a softer, diffused glow
-
Metallic linings – add warmth and depth
Metallic linings remain fully opaque. Therefore, light reflects internally rather than passing through the sides. This design directs illumination upwards and downwards and creates a more focused, atmospheric lighting effect.
UK & EU Fittings
We supply each Cardinal French Drum Lampshade with a dual-purpose fitting that works with both UK and EU lamp holders (E27 and B22). Consequently, you can install your shade quickly and confidently across a wide range of lighting setups.
