Scalloped Lampshade in Water Hyacinth

This shade is designed to be versatile, but it is best suited for standard table or floor lamp bases. Because it is a natural, hand-woven piece, we recommend checking your lamp's harp or fitter size to ensure a secure fit before purchasing.

The woven nature of the water hyacinth acts as a natural diffuser. It softens the light, casting a warm, dappled glow that creates a cozy, ambient atmosphere rather than harsh, direct illumination.

While the scalloped edge is a decorative feature, it is constructed from sturdy, dried water hyacinth fibers. It is durable for standard indoor use, though it should be handled gently to maintain its shape over time.

To keep the material looking its best, simply dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a gentle brush attachment on your vacuum. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the natural fibers.

We generally advise against placing this lampshade in high-humidity areas like bathrooms. Natural water hyacinth is an organic material that can absorb moisture, which may lead to warping or mildew over time.
