50cm rechte empire kap met drager in papavero 'klaprozen' linnen van Ellen Merchant

The linocut print transfers beautifully onto the linen—the poppies have that hand-inked texture, not a flat digital look. The 50cm width is generous enough to make the shade feel substantial, and the carrier fitting was hassle-free.

These interlocking poppy stems are even more striking in person, with the linen texture adding a lovely tactile depth. The 50cm empire shade is a perfect fit for my living room lamp, giving off a warm, diffused glow. I’m so glad I chose this piece for a heritage look that doesn’t feel stuffy.

The linen fabric feels substantial and the poppy pattern is crisper in person than I expected from the photos. It’s a touch pricier than I’d normally go for a shade, but the carrier makes swapping it onto my floor lamp effortless.
