If your lampshade is to hang as a ceiling light we need to make it with a pendant fitting at the top of the shade. Otherwise we will make it in our standard way with what's known as a duplex fitting. This sits on a shade carrier, fits to all standard and table lamps and allows you to adjust the height of the shade to suit your base.
So for a ceiling light, please choose CEILING and for standard and table lamps please choose LAMP BASE FITTING.
Candle shades all have a candle clip fitting so this step can be ignored.
And if you are unsure of anything, please email or give us a ring.
Classic Drum Dimensions
This is a classic shape which looks good as both a ceiling pendant light and suits most bases. We have made ours a fraction deeper than most you would get on the high street, as we feel the proportion works better.

The exception to this is if you choose a small lampshade for a lamp base when we use a fixed fitting at the bottom of the shade. Because the shade is relatively small, we think this looks better. This will be automatically adjusted when you order but if you have any queries or are unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to email or give us a ring, 07790 527 594 / 07968 103985
This drum is a little longer than many you will find in the shops and as such has a more contemporary and unusual look. It suits both table and standard lamp bases and works very well as a ceiling light.
Another classic design which lends itself to most lamp bases. We have experimented with a number of similar shapes and think that the slope of its sides is just about right.
A more contemporary take on the French Drum, this shape has steeper sides for a more modern look.

Our candle shades come as 3/4 cones or full cones. If your light is fixed close to the wall or the sconces are close together, 3/4 cones work perfectly.
