Price History
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 the Morris & Co. Acanthus lampshade for its bold, botanical pattern that adds a touch of traditional charm to any space. It works particularly well in classic, vintage-inspired interiors or eclectic schemes where the rich foliage can act as a focal point. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with muted or neutral lamp bases and surroundings to let the pattern really stand out, or use it as an accent in contemporary rooms for a surprising burst of colour and texture. Practical tips include hanging it at eye level in living rooms or bedrooms to showcase the detail without overwhelming the space, and contrasting it with more understated furnishings to highlight its intricate design.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
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.
Adapting to Changing Times
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.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
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.
