Wall Sconce for a Stairway in Walnut and Glass

Built Vertical Because a Stair Wall Is Seen From Above and From the Side

A stairwell is the one place in a house where you almost never look at a wall straight on. You see it from the flight above, from the flight below, and from the turn. That is why a wide sconce struggles there: from above you look into it, from below you see its underside, and from the turn it reads as a lump. This fitting is 50 cm of turned walnut standing vertical with brass rings marking the column, and a glass shade at the top facing up. From every viewing angle the shape stays the same and the lamp stays hidden behind the glass. The upward throw lands on the wall and the ceiling, which is what makes a stairwell feel taller instead of lighting the treads like a corridor.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Why a tall sconce on a stair wall?

Because of the angle you see it from. Coming down a flight you look at a sconce from above and slightly to the side, and a wide fitting shows you its top and its lamp. A column 50 cm tall reads as a vertical line from every step and keeps the source above eye level.

How do the eight models differ?

All eight share the same walnut column and brass hardware. The difference is the glass on top, white or amber, plain or cut. Six models measure 18 cm across and two measure 20 cm.

Does it have a switch on it?

Yes, a 50 cm pull chain hangs at the fitting, which is useful on a stair where the wall switch may be at the far end of a landing. It also works with a common wall switch on the circuit.

What bulb does it take?

An E26 or E27 lamp, not included. The shade faces up, so a filament lamp is visible from above on a stair; a frosted or opal lamp is the quieter choice if the sconce sits low on the flight.

How much light does it give?

It throws upward onto the wall and ceiling, so it lights a stairwell softly rather than putting a pool on the treads. On a long flight, two or three at even spacing work better than one bright fitting.

How do I clean it?

Let the lamp cool, lift the glass if the model allows and wash it in warm soapy water, drying it fully. Wipe the walnut column along the grain with a barely damp cloth and dry at once.

Eight Glass Shades on One Column, and the Model Codes We Are Still Checking

The column, the brass rings, the wall plate and the pull chain are the same on all eight models. What changes is the glass at the top: white opal globes, white bells, amber tulips, and cut amber glass with a pressed pattern that throws texture onto the ceiling when it is lit. Six of the models measure 18 cm across, two measure 20 cm, and every one stands 50 cm tall. The codes run A1 through D2 with diameters against them, so tell us which glass you want from the photographs and we will send you the code and an image of current stock rather than let you order a letter.
