MUSICAL NOTES LAMPSHADE SIZES

The drum shades are measured in terms of their diameter and height, as follows

• D20cm – H16cm
• D25cm – H18cm
• D30cm – H20cm
• D35cm – H22cm
• D40cm – H24cm
• D45cm – H26cm (on request)
• D50cm – H28cm (on request)

All measurements are approximate.  Of course, we take every care to make each item to the dimensions specified.  Nevertheless, a few mm difference is possible and should be anticipated.

Since we make each shade to order, we can adjust the heights.  So, if you would like your shade making with a different height please get in touch.  Likewise, if you would like some advice or guidance about the most suitable size shade for the setting, please drop us a line.  Sometimes, varying the height of the shade can alter it’s visual size when in situ.  For instance, a 40cm drum shade made to a height of 18 or 20cm can look as big overall as a 50cm drum.  However, if you are uncertain about a different size and already have a shade in situ, we recommend sticking with the same dimensions.

MATERIALS

Linen is a textile made from the fibres of the flax plant.  A characteristic often associated with linen is the presence of slubs.  These small, soft, irregular lumps occur randomly along its length and consequently mean variations in the fabric.   Slubs are considered part of the aesthetic appeal of this natural product.  Furthermore, slubs do not compromise the integrity of the fabric; on the contrary, they are viewed as a natural characteristic, not a defect.  Because of these characteristics, slight variations in colour and texture should be expected.

Linen is a natural fibre and therefore has texture within the weave and interest in the slub of the fabric. The lampshade rings and fire retardent PVC lining are manufactured in the UK and have all been tested and passed the glow wire test carried out by the Lighting Association.  

MAKING A MUSICAL NOTES LAMPSHADE

We individually make each SHADE to order.  Our first step is to prepare the piece of fabric in preparation for applying the pvc.  Once we have attached the pvc lining we then roll the shade to form the drum shape.  After the rolling is complete, the ends are turned over so as to create a neat finish on the inside of the shade.  The edges are all turned by hand, therefore, producing a consistent finish all the way round.

CARING FOR YOUR MUSICAL NOTES LAMPSHADE

We recommend using a lint free duster on the inside of the shade and most importantly, a soft brush for the fabric.  Should you need to clean the fabric we recommend spot cleaning only and always with a solution suitable for linen.  Equally important to take care not to rub the fabric as this is likely to cause pilling; in other words bobbling.
