The Coolie Empire Gather Pleat Lamp Shade gets its moniker from the traditonal Asian conical hats of the same name. This shade has a classic empire shape with gathered pleats, to create texture and visual interest. Offered in neutral-hued silk-like shantung fabric, with an off-white softback lining (black shades have gold lining), to create a warm, soft glow. We recommend pairing this shade with lamp bases that are large and bulbous for contrasting proportions. The Fancy Rectangle Lampshade is part of the Royal Designs, Inc. Timeless Basic Shade Collection. Royal Designs has been in the lampshade business since 1993 with our multiple shade lines that exemplify handcrafted quality and value. Height is measured by slant height from top to bottom of the lampshades? front face. Measurements listed as (TOP x BOTTOM x HEIGHT). Please measure your existing shade--a replacement harp may be needed for a proper fit or additional adjustment if changing height of shade.
