US Finial/Harp fittings

If you would like a finial fitting for a harp, please let us know, they generally cost only £5-£8.

Shades up to and including 12"diameter have a final fitting, 14" diameter shades and up will come with a spider for use with a harp.

We do not supply harps and our shades will not come with the harp.

Bow-ties, butterflies or fireflies, this pattern is open to interpretation. We prefer the more poetic firefly description - the gentle, deep, blue/black ground reminds us of sultry warm Kyūshū nights spent pursuing fireflys across the paddy fields!

  • Pattern placement can vary across shade sizes, if you need to know more, please ask
