Also see Bouillotte lamp shades which have a slightly smaller top width |
Size: Top width x Bottom width x Side Length
Top and bottom width is of near equal width. Many shades appear to be
drum shape even when these measurements are slightly unequal. Most people do not
notice the difference of 1-2" especially for longer lengths. Many stores do not
sell drum shades. Their size and shape requires larger boxes, higher shipping
costs and more retail space because drum lampshades do not nest together when
stacked like empire, cone, bell or other tapered shades. All of our drum shades
have a standard spider fitter to mount onto a harp or to sit on a glass reflector bowl or shade holder pipe.
Call to order. We offer live and
personal fitting help since 1979.
Round shades are more popular today than ever before. The short barrel like shape is appropriate for most any table or floor lamp and
perfect for hanging swag lights. Light
is reflected downward and the large top opening allows light to bounce off the ceiling and help light up the area or room. A drum
pendant light is perfect for hanging over any table, desk or work study area and
is great for reading or work projects. We custom make them here - ask.

What is a barrel, cylinder, round or ?
The answer to that question use to be very simple. But today the definition has
been expanded. Traditionally they are similar to a cylinder
with fairly straight sides. Just think of an oil barrel.
However, today they take on many variations of form and design. You will
find modified styles which have a relatively narrower top
diameter. There are
bells with graceful curving sides. There are
V Notch styles with designs in the top and/or bottom rims. There are short and stocky
styles also called Bouillotte shades.
Tall cylinder (
tall drum shade)

and short round (shallow drum) barrel shade

These shades are very functional because they not only diffuse light outward
through the fabric, they reflect light downward and upward where it can
diffuse off the ceiling.
Generally they are relatively larger compared to other shades which
allows the usage of larger wattage bulbs and therefore more light output.
Barrel shades were extremely popular from around 1930 -
1980. Today they are more popular than ever. Nearly all home magazines are filled with
different styles used throughout all rooms of the house.
Although there are plenty of options, here are some lamps that simply "cry out"
for drum or barrel shades:
Hollywood Regency
Stiffel
Antique
Crystal
Porcelain
Capodimonte
George and Martha Washington
Reproductions of all styles
Most lamp styles can be used with a barrel shade. It depends a lot on
personal preference and the look you wish to achieve with the lamp.
