Price Points: Natural conical lampshades

Natural conical lampshades

We’ve had a stunning vintage Bernard Rooke floor lamp for years, for which we’ve been waiting for an original lampshade to come up for sale. It’s been about a decade and, so far, we’ve had no joy.

It currently lives in our bedroom, looking very forlorn and bare – we’re going to have to bite the bullet and buy an alternative. I’ve looked into what the original ones look like – here, here, here and here. I want something in a similar colour and material, but cone-shaped to fit the space in which it’s located.

Below are the best natural conical lampshades – in suitable (large) sizes – that I could find for sale online.

collection of vintage lamps including a pair of olive green Poole Pottery cubes, one tall, teak Danish example and a lime green glass pear shaped base

We’ve bought lots of lamp bases recently and have been trying to marry them up with shades that we also pick up from time to time.

large white vintage geometric table lamp base topped with a vintage Genia Sapper "Heidi" fabric shade

We think this combination really works. We bought this original 1960s/70s white pottery base at a market last week. We already had the Genia Sapper Heidi pattern shade… and hey presto, a match made in heaven!

We had a couple of options available for this vintage Scandinavian teak base. Both have natural tones in hessian type materials. Each works fine… but we’re not sure that either is the perfect shape & size.

The actual base is stunning though, with its tactile sculptural form – very Dansk Designs actually.

We’ve just acquired two of these geometric pottery bases. They were produced by Poole Pottery in the 1960s.

The bases are the stars of the show here, so we’ll keep it simple for the shades. We’ve got some of those cylindrical off-white fibreglass shades, which are a pretty good fit… but a slate grey fabric would be perfect.

vintage pear shaped lime green glass lamp base

…and then there’s this stunning lime green glass shade – possibly by Holmgaard. This base is quite tricky – we’re not even sure what we’re looking for – but it will jump out at us one day!!!
