True Drum Hardback Lampshade – Cream Dupioni Silk

The “true” drum lampshade – which speaks to the rejuvenation of the “mid-century” modern style of the 1950s – has equally sized openings at the top and the bottom of the shade. Interestingly, optically, the top of the “true” drum lampshade will look slightly larger than the bottom of the shade – particularly as the height of the shade increases. The “true” drum lampshade can be used in a variety of settings – the larger and shorter versions often used on floor lamps and the small and longer sizes can be a great addition to a tall, thin table lamp.
