The Sea Captain Hand Painted Lampshade | The Painter's Studio Collection

This one-of-a-kind hand-painted lampshade features a motif of a historical sea captain in his naval uniform set against a patterned harlequin background with motifs of ship's anchors and compasses.  

Inspired by a recent visit to the American Museum just outside Bath. Deep red is balanced with touches of blue, black and white, resulting in a palette that feels bold yet harmonious.

When lit, the shade casts a warm, inviting glow, making it particularly well suited to living spaces, hallways or bedrooms where a sense of colour and character is welcome. It works beautifully as a statement on a side table or console, bringing pattern and personality without overpowering a room.

As with all my lampshades, this piece is painted entirely by hand and is completely unique — intended as an individual artwork as much as a functional object.

SHIPPING

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.

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.
