Cylinder Hardback Lampshades

The cylinder lampshade is a longer variation of the classic drum style lampshade. Like the drum shade, the cylinder lampshade appears to have equally sized openings at the top and the bottom, but typically, the diameter of the opening at the top of the cylinder lampshade is an inch smaller than the diameter of the lampshade at the bottom. The cylinder lampshade style is a classic, and reminds us of the lamp and shade styles of the 50’s and 60’s – the”retro 50’s” style that have re-emerged in recent years. The cylinder lampshade is longer by 2-4″, as compared to the same sized standard drum lampshade.
