Vintage Drum Lampshades, Set of 2, Blue and Gray Floral

Description

Same fitting warning first: a spider fitter and a harp are required, so look under your current shade before ordering and add a harp if there is not one there. The reason to choose blue and gray over the beige is a room painted in cool colors, where a warm neutral shade reads as yellow as soon as the bulb is on behind it.

Blue and gray also changes what the lamp does while it is off. In daylight a cool floral on a white nightstand reads closer to china or to wallpaper than to lighting hardware, which suits a bedroom where the lamps are in view far more hours than they are lit. Two of them keeps both sides of the bed saying the same thing.

Construction does not change between colorways: linen-blend fabric over a sturdy metal frame, finely stitched edges that hold their line from any angle, 13 inches across top and bottom and 10 tall. A drum this height throws light up as well as down, and the fabric softens it on the way out.
