Classic silk lamp shadesThe lamp shade is classic and quality made. I purchased two to go with my existing Ballard Designs tall brass table lamps. The silk fabric of the shade is lovely; not too shiny, the shades lean toward dressier, but with textured layers in a room could also be used in a casual setting.

Love the Shade but, why Check the fine print.I made the mistake of interpreting the size incorrectly. The shade is beautiful and well made and, I’m going to have to purchase the large one and buy a lamp to fit the small one I already purchased. I love it.

Perfect!I was looking for a lamp shade to go with my grandmother's antique lamp base. This was perfect! When I was a little girl my grandmother would have the lamp on in the front window waiting for our family to arrive late at night. It's been a treasure to have this lamp because of the memories. I was concerned about finding an appropriate shade. This was perfect!!! The color, style and material enhance the lamp base! Very pleased

Silk shade a winnerExcellent fabric and workmanship. The best feature is there’s no seam on the shade. My lamp is in a room that you see from every side. Also flattering shape. A winner.

Beautiful Silk ShadesThese shades were a great update to my old living room shades. The color is vivid, and the shades are lined, which you can't tell in the catalog. No cheap-looking unlined shades here, very well made.

Quality easy to findThis is my 5th lamp shade purchased through Ballard Designs over the past several years. Wonderful selection of sizes, shapes and colors. I always look locally first but return to Ballard Designs because this is the only place I find the right size. I have since purchased two smaller replacement shades for some wall lamps. I didn't bother looking locally -- just headed straight for the Ballard catalog. Of course they had what I needed.

Lovely shadeA wonderful purchase! There is a lampshade store near my home, and because shades of any kind are so difficult to find, I was eager to buy a replacement shade for a crystal lamp. HOWEVER, the prices were so ridiculous (and I was willing to pony up!) that I walked out. I actually thought the price include the lamp base!! This shade is a bit larger than the previous shade on the lamp, but it was the only size that worked. It looks amazing - fabulous quality and makes the lamp look better than before. I would not hesitate to purchase a shade from Ballard again. Now I'm looking for one for a kitchen candle lamp!

Classy lookingBought this to update an old shade on a pole lamp in living room. Bought linen shade in ivory and it is simple and elegant. Looks great with light off and really lets light shine through when on. This is a very well made shade-don't hesitate to buy. I also bought another Ballard shade for bedroom lamp in silk and am pleased with that as well.

Classy!I ordered two of the burlap couture tapered drum lamp shade to replace the basic cotton tapered drum shades that came with my blue gourd lamps. The burlap shades dress up the lamps and I think they look 100% nicer! I will be purchasing two more to go with my ivory gourd lamps!
