What fitting for my lampshade should I choose?
If your wall light has a fitting that your shade sits onto, the utility fitting will need to be at the bottom.
If the wall light is hanging, the fitting will need to be at the top.
You can order a shade with a duplex fitting that can be used on either type. Click here to see fittings page for more information.
Please measure the space between the wall and the lamp holder as this will determine the maximum diameter of wall shade you can order.
Shades can also be embellished with braids, trims or fringing

Cone wall shade
This is a classic shape which is really nice as a wall light because it nestles into the wall and emits lots of light .
This particular wall light has the shade sitting on it, therefore the utility fitting is at the bottom of the shade.
This style of shade is available in standard or duplex fitting in many different designs and in various sizes.
Fittings
Utility
Utility frames can be used with lampshade rings to make any style of lampshade, any size, for pendants or table lamps.
They connect with any Irish, UK (B22) or European (E27) lamp holders or pendant holders.
Duplex
Lampshades manufactured with duplex fittings are regarded as top quality products for the high end of the market.
They are used with shade carriers to connect to the lamp holder to the lampshade and control the height between.They can also be used with a spider fitting to be used as a pendant shade
Shade Carrier
The shade carrier is used to connect lampshades manufactured with Duplex rings to lamp holders and control the height. The height of the shade can then be adjusted relative to the lamp holder.
They are great for table lamps in tight spaces and for large shades as they are easy to lift the shade onto.
If you order a duplex table/floor shade I will supply the appropriate shade carrier.
How to measure what size shade carrier you need?
Place the lamp shade on a flat surface. Take a tape measure or ruler and measure the distance between the duplex ring and the flat surface the lamp shade is sitting on. The shade carrier size you will need is this measurement minus 4/5 cm. This will leave the lamp shade sitting around 4cm below the bulb holder ensuring the bulb holder can’t be seen, leaving your lamp shade sitting perfectly on your base.
Harp fitting
This is the most common fitting for lamps made in the USA. It is suitable for making all types of circular or cone/tapered rigid lampshades that will fit lamps that use a harp or vertical rod system to hold the shade.
I can make some style of shades which fit a 1/2 inch washer or I can provide an adaptor which will convert a E27 or B22 lamp holder to hold a harp finial.
