Design Your Own Handmade Scalloped Bowed Lampshade
Create a Scalloped Bowed Lampshade that’s designed especially for your home. Using our easy-to-use Shade Builder, you can customise the size, fabric and decorative trim to create a handmade lampshade that reflects your own style.
Every Scalloped Bowed Lampshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop using carefully selected materials and almost 60 years of lampshade-making expertise. As a result, every lampshade combines traditional craftsmanship with exceptional attention to detail.
Available in sizes from 20cm to 56cm, our Scalloped Bowed Lampshades are suitable for bedside lamps, table lamps, standard lamps and floor lamps. The elegant bowed empire profile and decorative scalloped edge create a timeless design that complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
Why Choose a Scalloped Bowed Lampshade?
A Scalloped Bowed Lampshade combines the graceful proportions of a bowed empire lampshade with a decorative scalloped edge to create a softer, more traditional silhouette.
Unlike a standard empire lampshade, the shaped edge introduces gentle curves that add depth, texture and visual interest. The bowed profile also helps diffuse light beautifully, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere without harsh glare.
Whether you’re restoring a period home, updating a favourite table lamp or adding character to a contemporary interior, a Scalloped Bowed Lampshade provides a timeless finishing touch that never goes out of style.
Handmade to Order
Every Scalloped Bowed Lampshade is individually handmade in our Devon workshop.
Choose from luxurious brushed cotton or elegant faux silk, then complete your design with a decorative trim that complements your chosen fabric. Every scallop is carefully shaped and hand-finished to achieve the refined appearance that defines this classic style.
If you’re unsure which fabric or colour is right for your home, we’re happy to provide free fabric samples before you place your order.
Available Sizes
Our Scalloped Bowed Lampshades are available in eight sizes to suit a wide variety of lamp bases.
- Smaller sizes are ideal for bedside and table lamps.
- Medium sizes complement standard lamps.
- Larger sizes create elegant proportions on floor lamps.
If you need something outside our standard range, we also manufacture bespoke lampshades to your exact requirements.
Soft White Lining
Every Scalloped Bowed Lampshade is lined with a soft white fabric lining.
The lining gently diffuses the light to create a warm, comfortable glow while maintaining the elegant appearance of the fabric. As a result, the lampshade looks just as beautiful when illuminated as it does during the day.
Dual-Purpose Fitting
Every Scalloped Bowed Lampshade includes a dual-purpose fitting suitable for both B22 (Bayonet Cap) and E27 (Edison Screw) lamp holders.
Sizes 20cm–35cm are supplied with a fixed internal fitting.
Sizes 40cm and above include a shade carrier for additional support.
The removable reducer ring allows the lampshade to fit the most common UK and European table lamps, standard lamps and floor lamps.
