This one-of-a-kind hand-painted lampshade features a beautifully detailed partridge, painted in rich, layered colours against a soft, earthy ground. Inspired by traditional natural history illustration and folk art, the bird is rendered with care and character, its patterned plumage picked out in deep greens, warm reds, ochres and soft blues.
The composition is deliberately simple, allowing the pheasant to stand confidently on the surface of the shade, much like an illustration from an antique bird book. Visible brushstrokes and subtle variations in colour give the piece a painterly quality and a strong sense of individuality.
When lit, the muted background softens and warms, while the painted bird remains crisp and expressive, creating a lampshade that feels both decorative and quietly striking. It is particularly suited to a sitting room, study or hallway — a piece that brings interest and narrative without feeling busy.
As with all my lampshades, this piece is painted entirely by hand and is completely unique. It is intended as an artwork as much as a functional object — something to live with and enjoy over time.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR LAMPSHADE
Care of your lampshade - I have been painting lampshades for nearly 10 years now, using professional artist's paint which is designed to be lightfast and not fade. You do not need to treat your lampshade any differently to a normal fabric lampshade - a light dust from time to time is all it will need. The paint sinks into the fabric fibres, as it would on a canvas, so once dry, it effectively becomes part of the shade and will not chip or flake.
