Handmade Fabric Lamp Shades | Multiple Sizes Available

Wandering vines heavy with flowers give this print its old-world grace. The pattern is Pivoine by French General, whose designs are inspired by visits to France: finely engraved blooms and trailing stems in dusty blues drift across a soft blue-grey ground, like a page from an antique herbarium.

This pattern will suit a wide range of lamp shade sizes.

Please refer to the size charts in the photos to choose the dimensions for your lampshade. There are two styles to choose from: tapered or straight sided, and 21 sizes, which are all numbered for ease of ordering. For example 'Tapered 15'

Use the drop down menus to make your choice - see below.

To order a lampshade in this fabric:

In the 1st drop down menu select the style and shape of lampshade - all dimensions are illustrated in the photos.

Ceiling lights are best chosen from the straight sided options and most of the tapered shades are only suitable for table or floor stands and are not available for ceiling pendants.

In the 2nd drop down menu select whether your lampshade is for a table lamp / floor stand, or to be hung from the ceiling. A guide can be found in the photos.

In the 3rd drop down menu select the ring size of the shade frame.

The options are either bayonet bulb fitting or screw bulb fitting. (See photo).

The light shade frame is manufactured to fit screw fit bulbs (E27 & E14) or, a converter (reducer) adaptor is added to reduce the hole so it can fit bayonet bulbs (B22).

If in doubt, select bayonet bulb fitting as this will come with the flexible adaptor which can be flipped out to make the bulb holder larger if needed. More information.
