Our empire lamp shades are available as large empire lamp shades and small empire lamp shades. These empire light shades are available in eleven different sizes; ranging from 8” to 32”.

If you are replacing an existing empire light shade then measure the diameter (at the largest part) of the top and bottom of the current empire lamp shade and then finally the height or the slant of the empire lampshade. This should help you figure out the size of your replacement empire lamp shade. If you do not have an empire light shade to compare with then follow these simple steps to choose the correct size for your linen empire lamp shade. Choose an empire light shade that is roughly 40% of the height of the completed lamp and double the width of the base. Also ensure that the empire light shade you choose is long enough to cover the lamp fittings. These simple tips should help you choose the right sized empire light shade but contact us if you need more help.
