Price History
Description
The Dupion Silk Lampshade in Burnt Orange by Shropshire Shades is made from Indian Dupion silk, a rustic, natural fabric characterised by its distinctive slubbed texture and beautiful lustre. In Burnt Orange, the rich, earthy orange tone brings warmth and depth, creating a striking accent within both neutral and colourful interiors.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lampshade for its warm, rich tone and subtle texture, which adds depth without overpowering a space. The burnt orange hue makes it particularly suitable for spaces that could use a touch of colour-think cosy living rooms or bedrooms with neutral palettes. It works well with modern or vintage-inspired interiors, especially those featuring natural materials like wood or wicker, as the silk fabric lends a soft, luxurious finish. For styling, consider pairing it with brass or matte black fixtures to create a balanced look, and use it as a statement piece on a fairly simple lamp base to let the shade be the star. It’s a versatile choice for adding a cosy, inviting glow while enhancing the overall colour scheme of your room.

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.
