SIlk pendant shades

I make silk pendant shades in lots of styles, shapes, sizes and designs.

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. Check the Fittings section 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.

Pendant shades are normally white inside but you can choose different materials for inside your shade, for example metallics, neons, patterned fabrics etc.

What different inside linings are available?

My standard lining on a firm shade is white uPVC which is specially manufactured for lampshade making but you can also choose metallic inner linings, coloured insides, double-sided or clear.

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.
