Specifications

Important Notes

For the 35cm French Drum frame, we recommend using a 8" Shade Carrier to position the finished lampshade at a suitable height.

Please note that the covering material, Shade Carrier and Spider fitting are not included and should be selected separately to suit your chosen lighting arrangement.

Rings may have a small uncoated spot from the finishing process where the frame was held during spraying.
This is normal and not a defect.
