Pleated Grey Empire Lampshade – Handmade Knife Pleat Lamp Shade
Our Grey Pleated Empire Lampshade is a timeless handmade lighting accessory crafted in our Devon workshop using traditional techniques. Carefully hand bound with rich grey cotton ribbon, this elegant shade features a classic empire silhouette combined with a refined knife pleat effect for a sophisticated and decorative finish.
The soft grey tone introduces depth and understated elegance to your interior. As a result, this Pleated Grey Lampshade works beautifully in both modern and traditional spaces. In addition, the gently tapered empire shape creates a softer and more refined silhouette compared to standard drum shades.
Each lampshade is meticulously handmade by carefully wrapping cotton ribbon around the frame to create a seamless pleated appearance inside and out. Consequently, every shade is produced with exceptional care and attention to detail for a truly high-quality finish.
Traditional Knife Pleat Detailing
This Grey Pleated Lampshade is handmade using a ribbon wrapping method that creates a classic knife pleat effect across the entire shade.
The pleated finish adds texture, depth, and timeless character to the design. Meanwhile, the seamless construction carries the elegant pleated appearance throughout both the exterior and interior of the lampshade.
As a result, the shade creates a refined and luxurious look that complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
