Description
A gathered shade in Sanderson’s Pillemont toile print — a chinoiserie pattern featuring small bluebird motifs, reinterpreted from a 19th-century French toile design and printed in soft blue on cream cotton. One of the classic Sanderson prints that keeps returning because it doesn’t age.
Made by hand in our Sandton studio on a hardback frame. I recommend this shade for guest bedrooms, on a bedside pair, or on a hallway console table where a small pattern lifts an otherwise plain surface.
The soft blue works with most cream and off-white palettes. Pairs well with the Beaumont bobbin in Emberstone for a warm-cool contrast, or on plain natural wood if you’d rather have the print lead.
This Chinoiserie fabric design was reinterpreted from a 19th century toile design and engraved with a subtle block texture to give a soft, contemporary look. Bring timeless sophistication to your space with this exquisite lampshade. Featuring intricate bluebird motifs, this design captures the romantic elegance of 18th-century decorative art with a modern twist.
This gathered lampshade is made of 100% cotton fabric from Sanderson.

Common questions
What lampshade fitter do your shades take?
All Enclave lampshades come with a standard ES (E27) ring fitting that suits most bedside, table and floor lamps in South Africa. If your lamp has a bulb-clip fitter or a European B22 socket, let me know when you order — I can adapt the fitting for you at no extra cost.
Are your shades hardback or softback?
Hardback. Every Enclave shade is bound onto a rigid polystyrene laminate frame — that’s what stops the pleats slumping in humid Joburg summers or coastal weather, and it’s what gives the shade its clean silhouette year after year.
How do I care for my lampshade?
Dust it gently with a soft brush or the brush attachment on your vacuum on low suction, roughly once a month. For a mark or smudge, dab with a barely-damp white cloth — never soak the fabric. Kept away from direct sunlight, an Enclave shade should look as considered ten years from now as the day it arrived.
Can I order a custom lampshade?
Yes. I take commissions in your choice of fabric, colour and size — either from a Sanderson or block-print I already work with, or from a fabric you supply. WhatsApp me on 084 509 5892 with the base you’re pairing it to and I’ll come back with proportions and a quote.
Do you ship nationwide in South Africa?
Yes — every order ships via The Courier Guy, boxed and cushioned so it arrives the way it left the studio. Standard lead time is 3-5 working days from Johannesburg to major centres, and 5-7 to smaller towns. You’ll get a tracking link the moment the parcel is picked up.
Where is Enclave Decor based?
We’re a small handmade lighting studio in Sandton, Johannesburg. Every shade is gathered and bound by hand in our workshop, and every bobbin lamp base is turned one piece at a time on a traditional wood lathe.
