Cone Hardback Lamp Shades

The cone or coolie shaped lampshades were inspired by the Coolie hats of Southeast Asia – a relatively small opening at the top of the lampshade and a wide bottom. There are several hardback lampshade cone or coolie styles, varying from very “flat”, or a short vertical height, to tall and narrow, where the height of the lampshade is greater than the diameter of the bottom of the lampshade.
