This lamp shade is very lovely. The fabric shade has a slight texture and the color is a warm neutral. Loved the packaging which kept it 100% perfect. I love lamps with nice shades. This is going to update a 1940's vintage brass lamp that was in my Dad's business office. I am buying this for my 93year old mama so that she can see it looking awesome as I also had it rewired. Looks like a million bucks now! Winning!
