Our Lampshade ranges

We currently have two main ranges of handmade lampshades; Our vintage sari lampshades represent a beautiful collection of one-of-a-kind statement pieces which are handmade from repurposed Indian silk saris. Each vintage silk sari has been picked for its jewel-like patterns, colours and textures, reflecting the richness of India’s textile traditions. Ranging from zinging oranges and fuchsias to more subtle, neutral shades. They are truly unique.

We also offer range of repeatable lampshades. Over the years, we have formed relationships with some well-established small businesses in and around Jaipur that specialise in block and screen printing and are passionate about protecting our planet. The Bagru, Assam (cotton), Jaipur (silk), and Scallop (linen) collections are made from these fabrics especially for us. The intricate designs have been carefully picked by Hilly herself, some of her favourite vintage saris are the source of inspiration. These ranges represent love of the textile artistry which she has experienced on her travels in India and along the Silk Road. All of these lampshades come in a range of sizes, starting with the miniature 10cm shade, (perfect for chandeliers, for example) right up to the largest 60cm shade. 

Excitingly, debuting this year at Top Drawer, we have three new repeatable prints. Joining the Bagru collection are the Red and Union Kalamkari, two beautifully decorated cotton shades and to join the Jaipur collection, the stunning Cream and Yellow Paisley silk lampshade which has a delicate floral design to bring beautiful warmth to a room when lit. They are a must see so do come and visit us on stand EO1, browse our wares and have a chat to us about our bespoke service if you wish!

To compliment our lampshades, we have a range of unique and unusual lamp bases which are handmade by artisans in India and in the UK. We have a wide range of styles varying from contemporary to traditional. Our Manali table lamp is a firm favourite of ours and has always been available in Aqua but new to Top Drawer this year is a red and grey version, making this decorative base even more versatile. As we are so excited about the new colour additions to our range, we are offering anyone who places an order of £500 or more with us during the show, a free Manali lamp base in the colour of your choice! Just come and find us on stand EO1 for a chat, we look forward to meeting you!
