Price History
Description
The Braided Shade is a hand-braided lamp that lends a natural, serene essence to any room. Available in a choice of three designs — belly, bottle, and disc — this lamp shade is braided by hand from rattan, allowing small glimpses of light through its natural shade. Whether hung from a dining room’s ceiling or entrance hallway, the hole at the bottom of the lamp gives a downward-directed light for an attentive glow.
Our Stylist Says
I love this braided shade disc because it adds natural texture and warmth to a space, making it versatile for both modern and bohemian interiors. It works particularly well in relaxed, Scandinavian-inspired schemes or coastal styles, where its organic feel complements wood, rattan, and linen accents. For practical styling, consider pairing it with minimalist ceiling fixing and a soft bulb for ambient lighting, and position it over dining tables or in cosy corner nooks. Its understated design also lends itself to layered lighting schemes - combining it with wall lights or floor lamps creates a cosy, inviting atmosphere.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
