Royal Design Studio Empire Lamp Shade

A spider fitter is the most common attachment style, consisting of a metal ring that sits on top of your lamp's harp and is secured by a finial. As long as your lamp has a harp and finial system, this shade will be compatible.

Yes, this shade includes a V-notch feature specifically designed to accommodate the reflector bowls often found on larger floor lamps, ensuring a stable fit.

The empire shape, with its 14-inch bottom diameter, directs light primarily downward, making it an excellent choice for task lighting on tables or reading areas. The hardback construction provides a crisp, structured look that helps diffuse light evenly through the fabric.

The silk-type fabric is durable, but like most lamp shades, it is best maintained by gently dusting it with a microfiber cloth or a soft brush attachment on your vacuum. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as they can damage the fabric finish or the adhesive on the hardback lining.

The frame is constructed with a rust-resistant metal, which helps maintain the structural integrity of the shade even in more humid environments like bathrooms or sunrooms.
