Classic Lampshades

Text a photo of your lamp to 401.450.5706. A tape measure in the frame helps. We'll recommend a size and fitter.

Sizes are listed as top diameter × bottom diameter × slant, in inches. The slant is measured along the side of the shade, from the top edge to the bottom edge, not straight up the middle. To match a shade you already like, measure it the same way. Our Lampshade Size Guide covers proportions for different lamp bases.

Most table and floor lamps use a harp and finial: the shade's center ring rests on top of the harp, and the finial screws down to hold it in place. That is the standard U.S. fitter on most of our shades. Chandeliers, sconces and small lamps with candelabra bulbs use a candle-clip fitter, which clips directly onto the bulb. If a shade sits too high or too low, a different harp height usually fixes it. Our Lamp Starter Kit includes three harp sizes.
