Buying a Witty Dawn Lampshade - What Size and shape ?

What size or shape do you want ....? 

Well lets define what I can offer . 

I make what it referred to as a RIGID lampshade - lined with a PVC liner - on  rigid frame ( see spec * at bottom of post ) .

Primarily I make a range of drum ,cone or empire lampshades - I do not make SOFT lampshades requiring hand sewing .

STANDARD RANGE

Name /shape	width cm	height cm
LAMPSHADES
Drum	10	22
Drum	15	18
Drum	20	20
Drum	20	24
Drum	25	25
Drum	25	28
Drum	30	26
Drum	30	30
Drum	35	30
Drum	40	30
Tall Drum	25	50
Empire Medium	30	25
Empire Large	30	30
Cone small	20	28
Cone large	25	55

(Edit : I now do another Cone size 25cm w x 37cm h )

I can do other sizes/shapes with the following limitations: 

• Max sizes for posting are : WIDEST -  40cm wide x 30cm high / 35cm w x 40cm  high and   TALLEST 25 cm wide x 55cm high. 
• Largest posted outside the UK is 20cm wide x 25 cm high 
• I can do larger lampshades  if picked up by customer from studio BUT extra charges will apply to cover non standard frame sizes and  more rigid PVC liner which I do not hold in stock
• I do a standard WHITE liner - I can do others ( colours/metallics ) but additional charges will apply as I do not hold those in stock and basically they cost a fair bit more. 
• I can easily customise HEIGHT but I cannot alter width options for DRUM lampshades.
• Any cone or empire lampshade requires a template - I do a limited range - additional charges will apply if you require something other than these. 

Some notes on fabric :

• I use my own fabric , you can send me yours but there will be no reduction in lampshade cost ( I don't do plain ones tho' - honestly if you want a plain colour lampshade there cheaper places to go ) . 
• Vintage fabric generally is 119cm wide - the max lampshade is 35cm wide if working across the fabric width on these fabrics. For wider ones I have to join 2 widths together thus the lampshade would have a seam or I alternatively could  use the length of the fabric ( if I have enough and the design works that way) . This may limit your options for a particular fabric.
• The condition, amount available and design of any of my fabrics can limit the sizes offered
• I use VINTAGE fabric - up to 70 years old - it is rarely absolutely perfect so if brand new looking is what you need you might need to look elsewhere.
• Again I use VINTAGE fabric - if you see something you like don't delay your purchase I have limited available of each fabric and cannot guarantee finding the one you liked again! 

I hope that helps you pick out what you need but contact me if you need some advice on what might work for you - I would say about a 10th of my customers do so don't be shy !
