Shapes
The custom made lampshade begins with a shape- a contemporary drum or stately oblong, or perhaps an elegant square with scalloped corners.
At Blanche Field we custom fabricate most of the frames from durable steel right here in our workshop. One advantage of having our own frame-making shop is that we can create any lampshade shape imaginable, and it allows our designers to specify a frame to within 1/4″ so as to obtain the precise shape and fit to the lamp for which it is designed. The wire Blanche Field uses in making its frames is heavier and sturdier than most others. This ultimately results in shades that are tight, crisp and long lasting- all Blanche Field trademarks. Every frame is carefully inspected for shape and balance.
Below are some of the most popular shapes among our customers. Keep in mind that not all styles are appropriate for every shape. Your choice of either fabric or paper might suggest one range of shapes; some finishing treatments may limit the choices further.
