Need a special size lamp shade? We can help
Our lamp shades come in several different sizes to suit most lamp bases. If you need something else, please send us an email and we will let you know if we can make it.
All our lamp shades are lovingly handmade in Brisbane in any of our fabrics.
Price Guide: Large lampshades (over 14”) require more fabric as the circumference of the shade is wider than the fabric. We have to order 2 metres so there is no join in the fabric. The freight on large lampshades is also high.
45cm/18” drum shade is approximately $215 in cotton and $225 in English cotton/linen
15cm/6” wall sconce drum shade is approximately $99

How to Measure Ring Height
If you put the lamp shade on a flat surface like a table measure from the table top in a straight vertical line to the edge of the ring. The ring usually sits 5cm/2” up from the bottom of the shade but sometimes it's a different height or it sits flush with the bottom of the shade.
More About Our Lamp Shades
All lamp shades have a flame retardant backing, and come fitted with an Australian fitting 2"/5cm from the bottom edge of the lampshade. The fitting is the Australian standard with a 29mm washer. Please let us know if you need a different size. European lamps normally have a 40mm ring size.
Unfortunately due to the fragile nature of lamp shades and the associated freight costs, we are not able to offer lamp shades for international delivery. If you want a lamp shade in one of our fabrics, we recommend that your order 1 metre of fabric and then source a local lamp shade maker (try searching for lamp shade makers in your area on Google or Etsy).
