White & Gold Pleated Empire Lampshade – Handmade Knife Pleat Lamp Shade
Our White & Gold Pleated Empire Lampshade is a timeless handmade lighting accessory crafted in our Devon workshop using traditional techniques. Carefully hand bound with luxurious white and gold ribbon, this elegant shade features a classic empire silhouette combined with a refined knife pleat effect for a sophisticated and decorative finish.
The soft white and gold tones introduce warmth, elegance, and understated luxury to your interior. As a result, this White & Gold Pleated Empire 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 ribbon around the frame to create a seamless pleated appearance inside and out. The shade is then finished with an elegant white and gold rope trim, adding a refined decorative detail that perfectly complements the pleated design. Consequently, every shade is produced with exceptional care and attention to detail for a truly high-quality finish.
Traditional Knife Pleat Detailing
This White & Gold Pleated Empire 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.
The addition of the white and gold rope trim enhances the traditional styling while adding a luxurious finishing touch.
As a result, the shade creates a refined and elegant look that complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
