Description
Acanthus (1875) was originally a wallpaper, used to decorate small bedrooms at Wightwick Manor near Wolverhampton. Here, the design has been reproduced in a cotton and linen fabric. Finished in warm colours and lined with a neutral contrasting faux cotton fabric to enhance a warm glow of light. With the addition of a reversible gimbal, this shade is suitable for both ceiling fittings and table lamps.
Our Stylist Says
I love this lampshade for its rich, botanical print, which adds a timeless elegance to a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in traditional or eclectic settings, where its intricate leaf design can serve as a focal point or complement antique and vintage furniture. For styling tips, consider pairing it with warm, neutral walls to allow the pattern to stand out, or with earthy tones to enhance its natural feel. It’s also versatile enough to suit a reading nook or corridor, providing both style and soft, ambient lighting. Keep the surrounding decor simple to let the lampshade be the statement piece, and it can easily morph between cosy and sophisticated environments.

About John Lewis
Founded in 1864, John Lewis is a trusted and beloved brand where you can find a diverse range of furniture for every style and budget, alongside finding the perfect item that reflects your personal taste.
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
