Beosadia Gingham Empire Shade

The empire shape is a classic, versatile silhouette that pairs best with traditional or transitional table lamp bases. Because of the pleated gingham pattern, it looks particularly strong on simple, solid-colored ceramic or brass bases that won't compete with the texture.

The woven cotton provides a soft, diffused glow rather than a harsh, direct beam. It is ideal for creating ambient, cozy lighting in living rooms or bedrooms where you want to avoid glare.

The pattern is achieved through the hand-weaving process, which gives the shade a more authentic, tactile quality than a standard printed fabric. This construction adds subtle depth and texture to the shade's surface.

This shade is designed with a standard spider fitter, which is the most common attachment style for table lamps. It requires a harp and finial to secure the shade to the lamp base.

To keep the pleats looking crisp, gently dust the shade regularly with a microfiber cloth or a soft brush attachment on your vacuum. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as these can damage the cotton fibers and the integrity of the pleats.
