Aged Brass Wall Sconce with a Walnut Plate

A Curved Brass Arm That Puts the Shade in Front of the Wall, Not Against It

Look at the arm rather than the shade. It leaves the walnut plate low, rises, and then turns forward and down, which carries the shade out past the plate and a little away from the wall. That is a working decision, not a styling one. A shade sitting flat against a wall throws most of its light straight onto the plaster and gives you a bright patch and little else. A shade carried forward drops light onto the surface below it, so the fitting reads over a nightstand, a console or the arm of a chair. The plate itself is solid walnut, cut rectangular and sized to cover a standard box, and the brass is left aged rather than polished so it dulls gently instead of showing every fingerprint.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Why is the arm curved?

So the shade hangs away from the plate instead of over it. That puts the light in front of the wall, which is what you want over a bed, a console or a chair, and it keeps the shade clear of the wall when you tilt it.

How do the eight models differ?

All eight share the walnut plate and the brass arm. The shades differ in size and in glass, from a 13 cm ribbed cone up to a 22 cm disc, in clear glass or ribbed opal. Clear glass shows the filament, opal hides it.

Which glass should I choose?

Clear glass with a filament lamp gives sparkle and a visible source, which suits a hallway or a dining wall. Ribbed opal diffuses the lamp and is easier to sit beside, which suits a bed or a reading chair.

What lamp does it take?

An E26 or E27 lamp up to 40W, not included. Either an LED or a filament lamp works. Stay under the 40W figure; the shades sit close to the lamp on the smaller models.

Is there a plug in version?

Hardwired only, and that is what we sell. If you need a fitting that plugs into a socket, tell us and we will point you at one built that way rather than adapt this one.

How do I clean it?

Let the lamp cool first. Wash the glass in warm soapy water and dry it fully. Wipe the walnut plate along the grain with a barely damp cloth, and buff the brass dry rather than polishing it, since aged brass is meant to dull.

Eight Shades in Clear or Ribbed Glass, and What That Choice Does to a Room

The eight models split roughly into two families. The clear glass shades, the flat discs and the shallow bowls, leave the lamp visible, so a filament bulb becomes part of the fitting and throws a sharp pattern of light and shadow. They read well in a hallway, above a console, or on a dining wall where a bit of sparkle is welcome. The ribbed opal shades do the opposite: the glass is worked so the source disappears and what comes out is even and soft, which is what you want beside a bed or a reading chair where a bare filament at eye level is tiring. Sizes run from 13 cm across, small enough for a narrow wall, up to 22 cm, which holds its own above a piece of furniture.
