Paper Rope Pendant Light Shade

This shade is woven from paper rope rather than natural hemp or rattan, which gives a finer, more regular weave and a paler colour. The result is closer to a Scandinavian paper shade than to a rustic basket, so it suits a modern room rather than a farmhouse one.

Paper rope also weighs very little, so a large diameter shade hangs from a standard fitting without any concern about the ceiling rose. That makes the bigger sizes practical where a woven rattan shade of the same width would not be.

Velleora Home Decor weaves each shade over a frame, so slight variation is expected. It fits standard pendant fittings without rewiring. Keep paper rope away from damp entirely, use a low-wattage bulb, and dust with a soft brush rather than a cloth.
