he lampshade is constructed using traditional stretching and sewing techniques with the fabric handsewn to the frame. I have left this fabric unlined to the pattern can be more fully appreciated if used as a ceiling shade.The lampshade is hand-finished with trimmings to pick out the colours of the design.The shade is 16" diameter.The lamp base is not included in the sale.Please advise if you would prefer an adapter for a ceiling pendant or shade holder (gimble) for a lamp base.Please use with a low energy lightbulb to ensure longevity.
