Scalloped, J Bell Silk Lampshades – Blue Ikat Linen

The Scalloped J-Bell Silk Lampshade – sometimes referred to as the “stove-pipe” silk lampshade is an exaggerated version of the traditional silk bell. The top diameter of the J-bell lampshade is generally ½ of the diameter of the bottom of the lampshade, but the frame is built such that the flare, or bell, starts at a lower point making for a more dramatic statement. This particular J-Bell lampshade is designed with scallops just at the bottom of the lampshade; both the top of the lampshade and the bottom of the lampshade can be trimmed with a decorative gimp or other trim. We see the J-Bell lampshade can be an excellent choice for a “period” lamp.
