Tyler + Tate Gathered Empire Shade

The classic empire silhouette is incredibly versatile, but it pairs best with table or floor lamps that have a substantial base. Because the shade has a 16-inch bottom diameter, it works well on lamps that are at least 15 to 20 inches tall to maintain proper visual balance.

The gathered fabric technique is designed to diffuse light rather than block it. It softens the glow of your bulb, reducing harsh glare and creating a warm, ambient atmosphere that is ideal for living rooms or bedrooms.

This shade measures 10.5 inches high, with a 10.5-inch top diameter and a 16-inch bottom diameter. Before purchasing, measure the height of your current shade and ensure your lamp harp is compatible with these dimensions to avoid the shade sitting too high or too low.

Yes, this shade is designed to fit standard lamp harps. If you are replacing an existing shade, you should be able to reuse your current harp and finial, provided the harp height is appropriate for the shade's 10.5-inch vertical profile.

To keep the fabric looking fresh, use a soft-bristled brush or a microfiber cloth to gently dust the shade regularly. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fabric texture and the internal structure.
