Squid Hand Painted Lampshade

A unique one of piece of functional artwork.

Inspired by 18th Century engravings of flora and fauna and with a nod to the style of John Derian, this hand painted lampshade transforms functional lighting into a work of art.  The fluid form of a squid, rendered in fine detail on this handmade off-white cotton lampshade introduces both movement and quiet drama to an interior.

Each of my shades is painted by myself, making each piece entirely unique.  Designed for projects where individuality, craftsmanship and storytelling are key, this lampshade offers a striking focal point while blending seamlessly into refined, curated interiors.

Perfect for coastal homes, contemporary townhouses, or eclectic spaces with a collector's eye, this design brings a sense of depth and sophistication into any scheme.

I post all my lampshades in EXTREMELY sturdy boxes that I spent a long time sourcing.  I have not yet had a single shade damaged in transit as a result.  Your shade will come beautifully wrapped in tissue and securely packaged.  I send all my  shades using Royal Mail Tracked 24.

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.
