Bring colour and quiet character into your home with this one-of-a-kind hand-painted lampshade. Stylised oak leaves and cream acorns spread across a deep, inky-blue background, creating a small piece of original art for your favourite lamp.
The inspiration behind the Oak & Acorn lampshade
Painted by hand in my Shropshire studio, this design draws on traditional folk art and the enduring symbolism of the oak tree: home, strength and continuity.
Pale green and soft blue leaves, dotted details and cream acorns sit along dark branching stems. The rhythmic composition and visible brushwork give the shade a warmth and individuality that a printed pattern cannot replicate.
A one-of-a-kind artwork for your home
Each painted mark is applied by hand, making this lampshade an individual artwork to live with and enjoy every day.
Its rich blue ground sits beautifully among vintage textiles, collected pottery and well-loved furniture. Place it in a reading corner, beside a bed or on a hallway console, where its botanical details can be appreciated up close.

Your lampshade will be wrapped in tissue and securely packed in a sturdy box chosen to protect it in transit. I send my lampshades using Royal Mail Tracked 24.
Caring for your hand-painted lampshade
A gentle dust from time to time is all your lampshade needs. I use professional artist’s paints chosen for their lightfast qualities. The paint settles into the fabric fibres, becoming part of the surface rather than a coating that chips or flakes.
