Drum shades come in two basic shapes: Tall Drum Shades and Shallow Drum Shades.
Our drum shades are of very fine quality and handcrafted with heavy gauge frames and more substantial than typical drum shades.
What Are Drum Lamp Shades ?
There are two (2) kinds of drum shades.
1- Tall Drum Shades - A Tall drum shade is shaped like a tall barrel.
2- Shallow Drum Shades - A Shallow drum shade is shaped like a short barrel.
- Drum shades are handcrafted by covering a steel shade frame with fabrics or other materials.
- Some drum shades have soft luxurious linings.
- Other drum shades have no lining or durable hardback liner.
- Drum shades are compatible with any lamp style subject mainly to customer preference.
- Customers often call them "Modern Drum Shades".
- But drum shades have been popular since the Art Deco period of 1920.
- Early Hollywood movies show drum shades in wide use for over a hundred years.
- Drum shades are extremely popular on lamps from any period.
- Our drum shades will fit most any modern or vintage lamp.
Drum shades are currently very popular and widely publicized in home decor magazines.
Customers in our outlet store often request "modern drum lamp shades".
Sometimes I jokingly ask if they mean the drum shades that were popular in early and mid century Hollywood movies.
Lamp shade styles do go and come back around.
Drum shades are versatile and compliment most any lamp style.
The cylinder shape of drum shades allows for multiple light bulbs and better lighting.
The more open drum shape also allows light to reflect upward off the ceiling and and laterally from the walls.
