Vintage French Tole Lampshade – Black & Deep Golden Ochre Stripe (Taller Profile)

This proportionally taller variation of the vintage striped tole shade features the same striking black and golden ochre palette. Its more vertical profile makes it ideal for bases with height or taper, adding a refined silhouette to your lighting scheme.

The use of tole in decorative arts dates back centuries in France, but during the 1950s and ’60s, designers began favoring bold color contrasts and simplified forms—moving away from floral motifs and toward modernist restraint. This piece embodies that transition, with its rich, saturated tones and crisp rhythm of stripes that feel both timeless and unexpected.

• Painted tole (metal) with original finish
• Mid-20th century, likely French
• Dimensions: 13 ½” base diameter x 6 ¼” height x 11 ¼” top diameter

Styling tip: This shade lends visual weight to any lamp and works especially well on a nightstand, library table, or console where it can anchor a small grouping of books, objects, or artwork.
