Akira, a well-loved pattern from Old World Weavers, is available as printed fabric, luxurious pillows, and now, beautiful, handcrafted lampshades in drum and pleated styles. This small-scale scalloped design features batik-inspired patterning and a watercolor effect. Hand gathered pleats create the dimensional shirred effect. Each soft-back pleated shade is handcrafted by stretching and sewing the material over a wire frame. The shades are self-trimmed with the matching print, and fully fabric lined. Soft-back lampshades offer a more diffused ambient light than hard-back lampshades and have a flexible surface that will not dent. Each shade comes with a standard washer top in nickel finish and is handmade in the USA. AVAILABLE IN ONE SIZE PLEATED SHADE B - TOP:7.5"; BOTTOM:15"; SIDE:10.5" SELF-WELT WITH MATCHING PRINT SOFTBACK - FULLY FABRIC LINED STANDARD WASHER TOP IN NICKEL FINISH
