Description
White Silk and Cotton is a shade for rooms that want light rather than pattern. The fabric is a silk-cotton blend: silk’s subtle sheen combined with cotton’s soft body, gathered into a clean white shade with no motif at all. It’s the quietest shade I make, and one I keep in the studio for photography because it lets the base do the talking.
Handmade in Sandton on a hardback frame. I recommend it when you have a beautiful base you’d like to celebrate: a Beaumont in Heritage Green, an antique brass candlestick, or a hand-thrown ceramic lamp. The shade completes the piece rather than competing with it.
Best paired with the Beaumont bobbin in any of the three signature colours. The white shade lets each colour show its character clearly.
This lampshade is adorned in a delicate silk and cotton blend fabric – combining silk’s subtle sheen with cotton’s soft texture. The gentle gathers create elegant folds, adding depth and a delicate, refined look that feels both luxurious and inviting.
Made in Sandton
Every lampshade is cut, pleated, and bound by hand in our small Sandton studio, one piece at a time. Shipped countrywide via The Courier Guy, in packaging designed to keep the shade shape intact through delivery.
Style this shade with our Beaumont bobbin lampstand — hand-turned on a lathe from solid South African Saligna by a local wood turner, then finished in one of three signature colours: Mistbound, Heritage Green, or Emberstone.

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 the bobbins for our lamp bases are hand-turned by a local South African wood turner, and we do the sanding, colour, wiring and assembly in the studio.
