Our superb collection of classic French Drum lampshades are available in a huge range of sizes and fabrics for creating the perfect finish for your table, standard or floor lamp. With its gently tapering sides, a French Drum shade offers a more traditional look than its more contemporary cousin - the cylinder – and will wash your room with a soft, flattering light that will create a warm, inviting atmosphere wherever it is placed.
All our shades are handmade here at our Suffolk workshop by our team of expert shade makers from fabrics picked for a sumptuous quality which lends itself to soft furnishings. In classic, neutral tones, our soft linen and cotton shades will wash your room with a soft flattering light, creating a calm, tranquil atmosphere that is ideal for laid back living. Our sumptuous silks and Hunstanton Velvets, inspired by the land and seascapes of North Norfolk, add a sense of drama, while our exclusive, Lovat Mill tweeds ooze heritage style.
If you are using your shade with a pendant fitting, try matching it with one of our beautiful Pendant Lamp Holders. We supply ceiling roses in our most popular finishes with a choice of coloured braided cable. Many of our gorgeous fabrics are also available as cut lengths and cushions if you are looking for a coordinated look and they are an excellent choice for freshening up an existing colourway or as an accent in a new scheme.
