Product Description
These Pyramidal Punched Tin Shades with Diamond Window are sold as two equal tin shades, each with a 15 inch square bottom, 11 to 12 inch height, and approximately 13 inch slant, handcrafted in central Mexico from hand-punched tin with a pewter and bronze satin patina. Their four-sided frustum shape, wide square base, smaller top aperture, rolled and hemmed edges, raised picture-frame ribs, diamond-quilt punch pattern, repoussé swirl rosettes, small crown cartouches, bezel-framed diamond window, folded seams, inside soldered joints, smoky hand-rubbed finish, crown ventilation slots, and pendant or table-lamp mounting options create sculptural shades rooted in Mexican hojalata craft, Spanish Revival lighting, Hacienda interiors, Southwestern décor, Mission-adjacent spaces, and rustic Mediterranean design. Ideal for breakfast nooks, foyers, kitchen islands, dining tables, galleries, forged-iron lamp bases, covered outdoor spaces, plaster walls, cantera stone, reclaimed wood, wrought iron, leather, and Talavera accents, these truncated pyramid punched tin lamp shades add broad downlight, central glow, and handcrafted pattern. Bring sculptural Mexican punched tin lighting into your room design.
Material and Craftsmanship
Hand-worked tin sheet is cut, formed, and soldered from the inside. Repeating punches are laid out with guides, then struck by hand. Rosettes and cartouches are formed in low relief and refined from the front. Bezel work secures the diamond window insert. Folded seams and rolled rims add stiffness and comfort at touch points.
