Tyler + Tate Empire Lampshade

A spider fitting is the most common attachment style for lampshades in the US. It features a metal washer that sits on top of your lamp's harp and is secured by a finial. If your lamp has a harp—the U-shaped metal wire surrounding the bulb—this shade will fit perfectly.

Because each shade is individually marbled by artisans, the pattern placement and color intensity will vary from piece to piece. You should expect a unique, bespoke look rather than a perfectly uniform, mass-produced print.

Yes, the paper is sturdy and designed for longevity, though it should be treated like any fine textile shade. It is best suited for indoor use in dry areas, away from direct moisture or high-heat bulbs, to maintain the integrity of the paper.

We recommend using an LED bulb with a warm color temperature (around 2700K). LED bulbs emit significantly less heat than traditional incandescent bulbs, which helps preserve the recycled cotton paper over time.

The best way to clean the shade is to gently use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. Avoid using water, cleaning sprays, or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the paper texture and the marbled finish.
