Inspired by the decorative charm of Charleston in Firle, home to Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, the Vanessa lampshade captures the joyful spirit of the Bloomsbury group through its expressive brushwork and romantic colour palette.
Delicate hand-painted leaves and stylised motifs sweep rhythmically around the shade, bordered with playful scallops and a lattice trim. The design combines soft pinks, leafy greens and ochre tones, brought to life with gentle painterly detail and a sense of movement that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Each shade is painted by hand by Melanie Lewis, using artist-quality paints and finished with care to ensure the perfect balance of colour and light.
The Vanessa shade can be ordered in three sizes:
25cm — perfect for bedside or wall lights
30cm — ideal for table lamps
35cm — a statement size for larger bases or sideboards
Please allow 3–4 weeks for your hand-painted shade to be created and delivered.
