Cornflowers on Brown | Handmade Floral Lampshades
Delicate cornflowers, warm earthy colour
Bring a little floral charm to your home with a handmade lampshade in this beautifully detailed cornflower fabric. Small red, burgundy and dark blue flowers weave through fine trailing stems on a warm brown background, creating a gentle vintage feel without overwhelming your room.
Picture a tapered shade beside your favourite reading chair, a bedside lamp against soft linen bedding, or a barrel pendant above a timber dining table. The earthy palette pairs beautifully with natural textures, timber furniture and gold-toned lamp bases.
Handmade for your home
Each lampshade is handcrafted by Sue in her Wellington workshop. Choose from 21 sizes across our straight-sided and tapered styles to find the proportions that suit your space.
- Small-scale cornflower and trailing-vine pattern in red, burgundy and dark blue on brown.
- A choice of sizes and shapes for table lamps, floor lamps and suitable ceiling pendants.
- Bayonet or screw bulb-holder fitting options.
- White, fire-retardant styrene inner.
- An LED bulb is recommended.
How to order
- Choose your style and size. Use the first dropdown and refer to the dimension charts in the photos. Straight-sided styles are a good choice for ceiling pendants; most tapered styles are intended for table or floor lamps.
- Choose how you will use your shade. Select table lamp/floor stand or ceiling/pendant in the second dropdown, choosing a style suitable for that use.
- Choose your bulb-holder fitting. Select bayonet or screw fitting in the third dropdown to match your lamp base or ceiling fitting. The bayonet option comes with a flexible adaptor that can be removed to fit a larger screw bulb holder.
