This is another item that comes from my own collection and was brought down from a wee trip up into my loft today.
I bought this back in the 1980s (it was vintage then!) and it has been packed away for the last 20 years when I moved house.
It is a large globe-shaped hanging shade. It is made of very fine woven resin or plastic-coated string. The way that the string forms the ball shape of the shade is amazing and I have taken a good few photographs so that you can see how intricate the weaving of it is.
It would be great hung low in a kitchen, hall or bedroom. Important: please note that with ordinary bulbs you must limit the wattage to 60 W or use LED ones which don't generate too much heat. Totally safe with a modern LED bulb.
This is a nice large size. I love the avocado colour. These vintage 60s shades are now hard to find, especially nice & clean and dust free. It is very subtle in form but quite eye-catching and unusual at the same time!
Dimensions: 10 3/4 inches high - and with a diameter of 14 inches.
