Traditional Victorian Empire Lamp Shade - Purple

You should use any light bulb that fits your lamp's socket (B22/BC, E14/SES, E27/ES) as long as its wattage does not exceed the 11W maximum. We highly recommend using energy-efficient LED bulbs, which provide ample light at low wattage and produce less heat.

Yes, absolutely! This lamp shade features a reversible gimbal that allows it to be used as a hanging pendant shade or, by reversing the fitting, as an upright shade for large table or floor lamps. This offers great versatility.

For routine cleaning, gently dust with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster. For light marks, you can very carefully spot clean with a barely damp cloth, dabbing the area without rubbing. Avoid harsh chemicals. The tassels should be handled gently to prevent tangling.

The dimensions are: Height - 26cm (excluding tassels), Top diameter - 15cm, and Bottom diameter - 40cm. These measurements provide a substantial and classic empire shape.

The reducer ring is included to ensure compatibility with smaller lamp fittings (such as B22/BC or E14/SES). If your lamp fitting is a larger E27/ES, you likely won't need the reducer ring. Simply insert it into the gimbal if your lamp holder is smaller to create a snug fit.

Yes, this Traditional Victorian Empire Lamp Shade is part of a collection and is available in a variety of other colors. Please check the product listings or contact customer support for available options.

Ensure the gimbal is correctly seated and tightened onto the lamp holder. Check that the reducer ring (if used) is firmly in place within the gimbal. If using as a pendant, verify the hanging mechanism is secure and level.

Check if you have correctly installed or removed the reducer ring. The reducer ring is for smaller bulb fittings (like E14/SES or B22/BC). Remove it if your fitting is larger (like E27/ES) or insert it if your fitting is smaller.

Ensure you are using a bulb with the appropriate lumens for your desired brightness, while still adhering to the 11W maximum wattage. Consider using a highly efficient LED bulb, which can produce significant brightness even at low wattage. Always confirm the bulb is fully screwed in and functional.

For dust, use a soft, dry cloth or a brush attachment on a low-suction vacuum. For marks, very gently spot clean with a slightly damp cloth, dabbing the area. Avoid rubbing vigorously and test on an inconspicuous area first.

Carefully and gently untangle the tassels by hand. Avoid pulling or harsh manipulation, as they are decorative and delicate. Brushing them very lightly with a soft, clean brush may help restore their alignment.
