Teal-velvet lampshade with ivory fringe

Showcasing an elegant palette of cool sophistication, The Dorchester takes its design cues (and its name!) from the iconic five-star hotel on London’s Park Lane.

It’s handsewn in teal velvet with an embossed pattern that adds an extra note of luxury, and trimmed with silver braiding along its elegantly scalloped edges. A petrol-blue swishy fringe delivers the final flourish.

Fabric & care

We source our fabrics from the best British fabric houses, always choosing materials that tick our boxes for luxury, longevity and light diffusion (aka giving off a fabulous glow!).

All of our shades are treated with fire and flame retardant spray.

Fittings & bulbs

Recommended lightbulb 60W LED in warm white.

Our shades are compatible with both British (BC) and European (EC) fittings. Please get in touch if you have a US lamp base so we can send the correct fitting.

The shade carrier included will work with either a table or a floor lamp. To use it, simply unscrew the metal ring on your base, position your shade carrier and replace the metal ring to secure it in place. Then simply sit your lampshade on top of the shade carrier. If your lamp base is smaller, click the plastic reducer into the shade carrier.

We also include a ‘spider fitting’ so you can use your lampshade as a ceiling pendant. Simply sit your lampshade on the spider fitting and attach it to your bulb holder. If your pendant is smaller, click in the plastic reducer.
