Syers Browning Gathered Empire Lampshade

The gathered fabric construction is designed to soften harsh light, diffusing it to create a warm, ambient glow. It is ideal for living rooms or bedrooms where you want to minimize glare and create a cozy atmosphere.

A good rule of thumb is that the lampshade should be roughly two-thirds the height of the lamp base. For the width, ensure the shade is at least an inch wider than the widest part of the base on all sides to maintain proper visual balance.

Because of the textured, gathered surface, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum with an upholstery attachment to gently remove dust. Avoid using wet cloths or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the fabric finish.

Yes, the empire silhouette is highly versatile. The smaller sizes (10 to 12 inches) are typically best suited for bedside or accent table lamps, while the larger sizes (14 to 18 inches) work well on standard table lamps or floor lamps.

It is compatible with standard light bulbs, but we strongly recommend using LED bulbs. LEDs generate significantly less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, which helps preserve the fabric and ensures the longevity of the shade.
