Price History
Description
The Ticking Stripe Lampshade Thin Natural/Black by Shropshire Shades brings a timeless striped pattern to your lighting. Traditionally used for pillows and upholstery thanks to its closely woven construction, ticking fabric has an enduring appeal. The fine black stripes contrast against the natural ground, creating a versatile design that works particularly well in country and vintage-inspired interiors.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Heal’s Slub Linen lampshade for its understated elegance and natural texture. Its neutral tone and tactile linen fabric make it versatile, working particularly well in both modern and traditional interiors that aim for a cosy, inviting feel. It’s ideal for layering in a living room or bedroom where soft, diffuse light is desired. To style it effectively, pair it with wooden or metal bases for a balanced look, and consider using it with dimmable bulbs to control the ambience. Its subtle imperfections and handcrafted appearance make it a great choice for creating a relaxed, tactile space without overpowering other design elements.

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.
