New Style 290 Genuine Silk Pongee: Our new fine-weave genuine silk meets the needs of lighting designers that want a genuine silk with a delicate texture and no slubs. This exotic material joins our line in response to requests from customers for a smooth genuine silk. The weave adds very subtle texture, putting more emphasis on shade shape than fabric texture. Stocked in White, Ivory and a beige called "Natural".

Styles 874 and 875 Grasscloth: Style 874 (foreground) has a light colored fine weave. Also available slightly darker as style 869. Style 875 (background) is darker, with larger fibers and a bolder texture. The coordinating fabric trim gives these styles a rich look.

European Parchment Collection: These European parchments are very translucent, vellum-like papers that complement a wide range of lamps. They give a soft glow to the light coming through the shade, and are good for emphasizing shade shape. Shown here from left to right, is style 760 in a cube square, style 762 cream in a vertically sided drum, and style 759 white in an empire shape.

Style 437 Antiqued Foil Lining and Style 607 Antiqued Foil: This new tortoise-look foil is available either as an antiqued foil exterior (style 607), or as a lining for our famous painted black or colored exterior (style 437 shown here in Ruby). In addition to the mottled tortoise shell-type antiquing, the gold foil has a slight embossing.

657-LB Old Cowhide Look with Genuine Leather Lace: -- This rich, old cowhide leather-look design on heavy parchment is shown here hand-laced with genuine leather "buckskin" lacing. Hand-antiqued at top and bottom. This shade is a member of our parchment/leather- look collection.

Style 538 Box Pleated Shantung: Our box pleated shantung lends itself to traditional lamps. Available in White, Eggshell or Bone. Shown here in the empire shape in white. Classic empire shapes are enjoying renewed popularity.

801 Genuine Linen: -- Our best-selling 100% flax genuine European linen, with a texture that is bold, but not overpowering. Appropriate for many lamps and design settings. Shown here in the deep-empire shape in white. Available in a wide range of shapes and sizes in white, vanilla, oatmeal and black. We have several other linens in a range of price points to match your needs.

408 Antiqued Painted Opaque Colors: -- This version of our famous painted shades features hand-rubbed antiquing at the top and bottom. Shown here in an empire coolie shape in Chinese red. We offer painted shades in a wide range of colors and finishes.

919 Shirred Handkerchief linen: -- Our custom-dyed handkerchief linen, crisply pleated with elegant self-fold trim. Not a "generic" shirred shade. Shown here in a contemporary empire-coolie shape in hunter green. Also available in white, sand, beige, navy , mauve, wine, and ruby red.

727 Leaf Paper: -- Genuine leaves mixed into the paper give this shade an organic natural look. This popular paper is a great choice when you need a lot of texture. Matching binding tape of the same paper. Shown here in the post-modern cone shape. A member of our exotic "Botanical Paper Collection".

Style #717 Palomino Parchment: The palomino marbling in this beige paper is intrinsic to the paper fibers, not printed on. Because of this, the marbling doesn't fade out when the light is turned on. Shown here in the empire coolie shape, this will also work well with other "in" shapes like drums, shallow drums and cube squares. This style is a good candidate for our genuine leather lacing, Style #717-LB.

319 Bass Print: -- This attractive fishing print on oiled parchment is shown here in an oval shape, which shows off the print well. This is just one member of our "Oiled Parchment Series", which includes a range of prints and oiled parchment in round, oval and hexagon shapes.
