F A Q S

How are shades measured?

Cone (C) = top diameter x bottom diameter x length of slant

Drum (D) = top diameter x bottom diameter x height

Square (S), Trapezoid (T), and Rectangle (R) = width and length of top x width and length of bottom x length of slant 

Will a Bijoux shade work with my type of lamp?

Bijoux shades are made with standard American washers.                             This is the most common fitting. Small lamps that take

a flame or mini round bulb can be fitted with an adapter. 

Are shades transparent?

No. Linings are opaque and, therefore, light only emits at the top and bottom. 

What is a Soutache? (besides another French word)

Bijoux soutaches are decorative black, white, or metallic trim (approximately 1/8th inch wide) that are applied on some shades. 

How do I clean a Bijoux shade?

Gently dust to clean. Do not use water or any cleaning agents. Shades are meant for indoor use only.
