This bell-shaped pair in ivory shantung silk definitely fit the bill. They are of generous size and are fully lined. Each shade is divided, by binding, into eight panels. At the top of each shade is a metal tripod spider and washer fitter (standard 7/16" inner diameter) that attaches to a lamp harp.
This pair of shades would work perfectly in any color scheme, especially a neutral one. They would be suitable for either large table lamps or floor lamps.
They are each 10.5" high with a bottom diameter of 17" and a top diameter of 9.25". They are in great, used condition. The only condition issues are some slight blemishes on the inside linings: Two small brown marks (about 1/16" diameter) on one shade, and some hardly noticeable smudges (about 1/8") on the other. These are detailed in the photos and, as you can see, are barely noticable. See less
