Mela Artisans Bellebow Lampshade

This shade is designed for standard table or floor lamps. Because it features an open top and bottom, it works best with lamps that utilize a standard harp and finial fitter system.

The cotton fabric is translucent, meaning it will cast a soft, diffused glow throughout the room rather than directing a harsh beam of light. It is ideal for creating a warm, ambient atmosphere in reading nooks or bedrooms.

Because each shade is handcrafted, there may be slight variations in the placement and intensity of the handblocked stripes. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure each piece is unique.

To keep the shade looking fresh, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle dusting brush to remove surface debris. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as these can damage the fabric or cause the handblocked dyes to bleed.

The Empire shape is a classic, versatile silhouette that leans slightly whimsical due to the tapered design. While it fits perfectly in eclectic or bohemian spaces, its clean lines also allow it to serve as a playful contrast in more minimalist or modern interiors.
