We were quite particular that the hand carved marble 'florettes' were not glossy and polished...we wanted to steer clear of the bling and keep them with an understated matt finish. They've come out beautifully. A charming wall fitting indeed.

We spend hours messing around with lampshades, trying all sorts of new and wondrous materials to see how they transmit light through them. And in our opinion, there isn't much that beats a humble rattan lampshade for casting a beguiling glow. The light pools warmly beneath but it also sneaks out gently through the little gaps in the weave. Beautiful it is, we thinks.
