Home Concept Hand-Crafted Metropolitan Series Signature Shades feature the finest premium shantung silk fabric. We give attention to the little details, like inner fabric and heavy metal frames. Durable Upholstery-Quality fabric means your new lampshade will last for decades. It won't get brittle from smoke or sunlight like less expensive fabrics. Heavy brass and steel frames means your shades can withstand abuse from kids and pets. It's a difference you can feel when you lift it. Who is this shade for? Empire lampshades work well with table and floor lamps in homes, hotels, or offices. Designers love the quality and attention to detail of HomeConcept shades.
