About the Marlborough design

Marlborough is inspired by early damask studies and evokes the quiet romance of the English rose, making it a beautiful choice when you want pattern that feels refined rather than overpowering. Its delicate motif and graceful structure work effortlessly with layered textiles, antiques, and clean-lined modern pieces alike.

Craftsmanship and construction

Each Marlborough lampshade is designed and handmade in Marlborough, England, using Fermoie’s 100% light linen sheer, a fabric chosen for its nuanced texture and softly diffused light. The fabric is printed in-house for full color and quality control, then hand-gathered using a process unique to Fermoie, resulting in a beautifully even, artisanal pleat.

Sizes, shapes, and colorways

The collection launches in both round and oval silhouettes, allowing you to tailor the profile to everything from petite bedside lamps to substantial statement bases. With 16 sizes ranging approximately from 4.5" to 24", Marlborough can be scaled for consoles, chests, writing desks, and larger living room or entry lighting schemes.

At launch there are six colorways—red, orange, yellow, green, teal, and light blue—each carefully calibrated to feel saturated yet soft once illuminated. This palette makes Marlborough especially versatile, whether you are punctuating a neutral room with a single accent color or pulling together an existing scheme that mixes prints and solids.

Styling ideas for your home

  • Pair a small Marlborough shade in teal or light blue with a simple ceramic or turned wood base for a relaxed, coastal-inspired bedside or reading nook.

  • Use a pair of medium oval shades in warmer tones like red or orange on console lamps to frame an entry or dining room sideboard with a welcoming, flattering light.

  • For a more traditional sitting room, layer a larger round shade in green or yellow with patterned cushions and drapery; the gentle damask-inspired pattern adds interest without competing with bolder prints.
