Description
Empire Retro Lampshade
The Empire Retro Lampshade is a classic, structured design with a clean tapered silhouette. Handmade in Devon by Imperial Lighting, each shade is carefully crafted using traditional techniques to ensure a precise and durable finish. The straight empire profile creates a smart, tailored look that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Unlike a bowed or curved empire shape, this retro style features crisp lines and a balanced taper from top to bottom. The result is a neat and proportioned lampshade that feels timeless rather than ornate.
This lampshade is available in your choice of brushed cotton or faux silk, allowing you to select a finish that best suits your interior. Both fabrics provide a refined appearance and help create a soft, comfortable level of light. As a result, the shade works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and hospitality settings.
Structured Empire Design
The gently tapered form allows light to spread evenly while directing it downward. Therefore, it provides a warm and inviting glow without harsh glare. Its structured shape makes it ideal for table lamps, floor lamps, and statement bases.
The Empire Retro Lampshade pairs well with ceramic, brass, glass, wooden, or painted lamp bases. For example, it works beautifully in period homes, boutique hotels, and country properties. However, its clean lines also make it equally suited to more contemporary interiors.
Handmade Quality
Each shade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop. Because we use quality materials and careful construction, every piece has a neat, durable finish. Slight variations in fabric texture may occur. However, these small differences add character and reflect the handmade nature of the product.
