TRADITIONAL LAMP SHADE

A traditional lampshade is a fixture that covers the lightbulb on a lamp to diffuse the light it emits. Lampshades can be made out of a wide variety of materials like paper, glass, fabric, or stone. Usually conical or cylindrical in shape, lampshades can be found on the floor, desk, tabletop, or suspended lamps. The term can also apply to the glass hung under many designs of ceiling lamps. Beyond its practical purpose, significant emphasis is also usually given to decorative and aesthetic features. A lampshade also serves to "shade" human eyes from the direct glare of the light bulbs used to illuminate the lamp.
