Raised Spider

These spider attachments are to be used in conjunction with our shades if you wish to adapt them to fit on a US style 'harp and finial' lamp base. They can only be used with shades which have Duplex fittings. This will raise the shade so the screw (finial) sits in line with the top of the shade. They come in varying sizes from 3cm to 9cm so if you are ordering them for shades you already have you need to measure the distance between the Duplex ring and the top of the shade as this varies.

See our blog post on fixtures and fittings for more information.

Although most of our lampshades come in relatively standard dimensions (35cm diameter or 50cm diameter, for example), the height at which the duplex fitting sits on the inside of the shade can vary. Due to this, we will supply the size spider fitting we would recommend for your lampshade.

If you have any particular specifications on where you want your lampshade to sit on the spider, please do get in touch with us to discuss the type of fitting you need when you order.
