Andromeda Lamp Shade 12cm - Chrome

Description

DescriptionThis is a small glass shade with two layers to it: a mirrored chrome outer wall and a frosted funnel set inside it. The outer surface catches the room and the fittings around it, while the frosted funnel does the quieter work, taking the glare off the lamp before the light reaches the room. The wine profile gives it a drawn-in waist and a softly flared rim, and at 12cm across it stays small enough to sit in a row or a cluster without the glass crowding.
We reach for shades like this where a fitting needs some shine but the light itself has to stay comfortable to sit under, so over a kitchen island, above a breakfast bar, or along a run in a hallway. The mirrored finish suits modern rooms with chrome or polished metal already in them, taps, handles, bar stool frames, and it does a good job of borrowing colour from whatever is nearby. It is also a straightforward way to refresh a fitting you already own rather than replace the whole thing.
The shade is glass throughout, with the chrome applied to the outer surface and the funnel frosted within, and it is light in the hand for its size. Keep it looking right with a soft cloth and a little glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth rather than the shade, and skip anything abrasive or solvent based, which will dull a mirrored surface quickly. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same wine shape in amber, clear and copper, and there is a rounder version in the same range if you want a fuller, more bulbous silhouette in matching chrome. The shade is sold on its own, so the lamp comes from the fitting it goes onto.

Frequently AskedWhat size is this shade?
It measures 120mm in diameter and 125mm in height, so it is slightly taller than it is wide. That makes it a good choice for multiple-light bars and small clusters where wider shades would touch.
What is the frosted funnel for?
It sits inside the chrome outer glass and diffuses the lamp, softening the light and keeping the bright point of the lamp from being seen directly from below.
Is a lamp included?
No. This is a non-electrical shade, so the lampholder and lamp both belong to the fitting you are putting it on.
How should I clean the chrome?
Use a soft dry or barely damp cloth. If you need a cleaner, apply it to the cloth rather than directly to the glass, and avoid abrasive creams and solvents, which mark mirrored finishes permanently.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.14kg, which is light for a glass shade of this size.
What other finishes are there?
The same wine shape is made in amber, clear and copper, all with the frosted inner funnel, and there is a round version of the shade in the same finishes.
