Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell Lampshades

The Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell lampshade is one of the original lampshade styles, designed specifically for both Swing Arm Floor lamps and the traditional tall, single or multi-light floor lamps. The general shape of the Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell lampshade is a cross between the traditional Silk Bell lampshade and the Silk Drum lampshade. The diameter at the top of the lampshade is about 3/4’s of the diameter of the bottom of the lampshade – not as small as the Silk Bell, nor as wide as the Silk Drum lampshades. Further, the overall length of the Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell lampshade is relatively short. The shorter height works well on the Swing Arm Floor lamps, whereas a longer lampshade may overwhelm the swing arm. Typically, the smaller sizes of the Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell lampshade work best on the Swing Arm Floor lamps. The larger sizes of the Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell lampshades are best suited for the larger floor lamps. The larger opening at the top of the lampshade allows for use of higher wattage light bulbs, and the shorter length serves to cover only the “lampworks” while allowing the full length of the floor lamp stem to be visible. Further, the washer fitter on all of the Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell lampshades are designed with notches that fit any one of the three sizes of the white milk glass reflector bowls found on the top of many floor lamps. The Floor and Swing Arm Shallow Silk Bell lampshade is available in a wide range of fabrics, allowing for integration into any decor.
