Pantalla recta estilo imperio de 30 cm en algodón fruncido Tuffley color rojo aguamarina de GP & J Baker

The fabric pattern on this shade is even more striking in person, with the seaweed motif catching the light beautifully at dusk. It's a generous 30cm size, so it makes a proper statement on our sideboard without overwhelming the room.

The cotton fabric has this beautiful hand-feel that you don't see on modern shades, and the aqua red pattern really pops when the light's on. It's like having a little piece of Victorian botanical art in the room—I keep catching myself just staring at the gathered texture.

The shade casts the loveliest warm glow when lit, and the aqua red tones pick up beautifully against white walls. I was worried the gathered cotton would look too fussy, but it's actually quite refined and dresses up my reading corner perfectly.
