Deep Empire Gather Pleat Basic Lamp Shade

The Deep Empire Gather Pleat Basic Lamp Shade by Royal Designs, Inc. is a timeless silhouette that brings elegant structure and visual texture to any room. The classic empire shape is enhanced with vertical gathered pleats, making it a standout addition to traditional or transitional interiors.

Part of our Basic Shade Collection, this shade reflects Royal Designs’ commitment to handcrafted quality and classic styling since 1993. Crafted from premium silk-type shantung fabric in versatile, neutral tones, this shade features an off-white softback lining for a warm, diffused glow. The longer slant height and narrow top diameter create a dramatic profile that pairs beautifully with large, rounded lamp bases for balanced proportion and contrast.

Measurements are listed as (Top Diameter x Bottom Diameter x Slant Height). Height is measured on the slant from top to bottom of the shade’s front face. Please measure your existing shade—a replacement harp may be required for a proper fit or additional adjustment if changing the shade height.
