Who is on the oriental style, is certainly not entirely wrong with the lamp. We ordered the lamp for our bedroom and are very happy with it. The fabric seems a leather-like material (possibly bladder, etc.) to be, never plastic. The painting is clearly authentic. One can see that it is handmade and no cheaper industrial imprint. The lampshade makes a solid impression and comes well packed in a large cardboard box. The only minor drawback is the attachment (hence the one star deduction). The lampshade is hanged on chains. You do not want now for each chain must screw a hook in the ceiling make do with cable ties and secure the chain on the line. Conclusion: nice lampshade with small reductions in the attachment. But at the price because you can really overlook about it.
