These pretty, ready-made silk shades are available in our full range of pure silk dupions, perfect for creating a unique effect in your home. Each of our lampshades is carefully handmade at our Suffolk Workshop by our team of expert shade-makers. Silk dupion shades are always the most popular because pure silk is a uniquely beautiful fabric with a luxurious textured quality and richness that cannot be reproduced in other materials.
All our silk shades have a fabulous natural sheen and distinctive weave that makes them stand out from the rest, however, as a natural fabric they do need looking after as they can fade and deteriorate over time. Many of our gorgeous fabrics are also available as cut lengths and some as cushions, for a coordinated look.
We strongly recommend that you order a swatch before ordering any of our fabrics to help you decide if it is right for you. To add a free fabric swatch to your basket, please select the recommended accessories icon.
SILK CHARACTERISTICS
.
Pure silk dupion is a uniquely beautiful fabric with a luxurious quality and richness. The fabric is made using raw silk yarns that are tightly woven together to produce a highly lustrous surface with natural
'slubs' ( lumps and bumps of thickened yarn) that are characteristic of silk but may not be everyone's taste, especially if you are after a more uniform look. Natural silk may also fade over time, especially in darker colours.
We always recommend orderings a free swatch to check the fabric is to your liking before you order. For more information, please see our
Silk Characteristics guide.
