Custom Handmade Lampshade (Rigid Only)

DESCRIPTION This is a rigid customized lampshade using customer supplied fabric. Please send a message if you have specific requirements and to arrange sending of your fabric. Please note at this time I am NOT taking on the following types of lampshades: soft, oval, square, rectangle or triangle. All lampshades have a single seam and rolled edges. Please note that the pattern placement can vary however I try my best to ensure optimal placement each time. The pattern will not always match up at the seam and slight color variations can occur due to different light in photography. *Please note that this listing is for the lampshade only, and does not include any other items shown in the photograph. FITTINGS All lampshades are fitted with a standard nickel spider fitting with a 1/2 inch recess at the top. These fit most standard harp & finial lamp bases. I also offer euro, uno and clip on fittings, please either message me or request these specifically in a note with your order. Euro/Nord fittings fit around the base of the bulb holder and measure 1 9/16” center diameter. If you have a lampshade that fits like a pendant with a downward facing bulb, please send me a note to say so in order for me to place this correctly. Uno fittings also fit around the base of the bulb holder and measure 1 7/16” center diameter. These are common on smaller diameter lampshades up to 10 inch. Clip on fittings are available up to an 8 inch diameter. If there is no special requests with your order a spider fitting for a harp and finial will be used by default. LININGS All lampshades have a finishing choice of white, copper, gold or silver lining. All lining used is the highest quality pvc styrene material that is flame retardant and have passed all the relevant safety tests. White lining is the most common and will emit the brightest light through the lampshade. Gold, copper and silver linings will emit decent light but will not actually shine through the lampshade due to the dark nature of the metallic lining. They all emit a warm radiance from the top and bottom and have a decorative feel to them. A low watt or LED bulb is highly recommended. SHAPES & DIMENSIONS All lampshades are offered in the following shapes and sizes: Drum, Empire and Coolie. DRUM Drum lampshades have the same top and bottom diameter and have a very modern and contemporary feel to them. Drums are available in the following dimensions (please check each individual listing as they vary in sizes offered due to fabric width): 6 inches (approx height 6.5 inches) 8 inches (approx height 8-8.5 inches) 10 inches (approx height 9 inches) 12 inches (approx height 9.5 inches) 14 inches (approx height 10-10.5 inches) 16 inches (approx height 10.5 inches) 18 inches (approx height 11 inches) EMPIRE Empire lampshades have a slight taper and resemble a bell shape. The difference between the top and bottom diameter is only 2-4 inches. The larger the difference the more apparent the taper. All the sizes below are measured by top diameter x bottom diameter x height. 6x8x6 8x10x8 8x12x10 10x12x10 10x14x12 12x14x12 12x16x12 (certain fabrics only) 14x16x12 (certain fabrics only) COOLIE Coolie or cone lampshades have a small top diameter and a larger bottom diameter to create the “cone” shape. Again the sizes below are measured by top diameter x bottom diameter x height. *PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS SHAPE WILL CAUSE PATTERNED FABRIC NOT TO BE SYMMETRICAL DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE TEMPLATE. 6x12x8 8x16x10 10x18x12 (certain fabrics only) SIZING It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure that they are purchasing the correct size. Therefore, I recommend measuring your lamp base or your existing lampshade for an optimal fit. I also encourage as many questions as you have prior to purchase as it’s essential to get everything correct. Returns and exchanges, although welcome, can be cumbersome as often times sending lampshades back to me means risking damage whereby they cannot be resold to another customer. CUSTOMIZATION Custom Height If you do not see the size you want above, I can customize any size above to any HEIGHT up to 12 inches for you at NO EXTRA COST. Anything over 12 inches will incur a $10 surcharge. Please include this add on listing if you want a height beyond 12 inches, the maximum height offered is 16 inches. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1039827758/custom-height-for-lampshade-over-12?ref=shop_home_active_8&frs=1 Custom Shapes Please either write a note on your order with your specifications or message me.
