Price History
Description
The Dupion Silk Lampshade in Lagoon by Shropshire Shades is made from Indian Dupion silk, a rustic, natural fabric characterised by its distinctive slubbed texture and beautiful lustre. In Lagoon, the gentle blue-green colour brings a fresh and tranquil quality, while the natural variations of the silk add depth and character.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lagoon silk lampshade for its clean, understated elegance and subtle colour tone. It works particularly well in contemporary or pared-back interiors, adding a touch of softness without overpowering the space. Its silk dupion fabric offers a gentle sheen that catches the light beautifully, making it suitable for both ambient and accent lighting. For styling tips, pair it with neutral or monochrome schemes to let the colour pop, or combine with other tealy or muted shades for a cohesive look. It’s equally versatile in bedrooms or living rooms, and looks crisp when used with simple brass or matte black fittings for a modern finish.

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.
