The Elstead Clip Shades Lampshade from the Clip Shades range is a classic fabric light shade designed by Elstead in the United Kingdom. Its tapered, empire silhouette and pleated cream fabric suit table and floor lamps, offering a decorative cover that diffuses light and reduces glare.

Its tapered form features tight vertical pleats running from the top rim to the base, creating a rhythmic pattern of highlights and shadow when illuminated. The top and bottom rims are finished with a matching fabric trim that conceals the internal frame edges. The shade is offered in three size options to suit different lamp scales.

Constructed in a fine woven fabric with a uniform cream tone, the lampshade is supported by an internal wire frame that maintains its geometric form. The pleated fabric is secured to the frame and the gallery trim provides a neat, tailored finish to the overall design.

The pleated surface softens and diffuses the bulb's output, directing light both upwards and downwards while reducing side glare; the texture adds visual depth through subtle highlights and shadow. The result is a warm, balanced ambience appropriate for living rooms, bedrooms and beside tables.

The shade is designed to be fitted onto a lamp base and relies on its internal wire gallery to sit securely. Specific lamp fittings, bulbs and mounting hardware are product dependent and should be confirmed against your lamp base prior to purchase.

At Lighting Design Online we treat this shade as a considered finishing piece: its simple, traditional form resolves glare and adds texture while remaining straightforward to specify. Our guidance focuses on proportion, finish and compatibility so you can be confident the chosen size and material will give a clear, quality outcome for your scheme.
