Traditional Pleated Linen Shade Wall Sconce Brass Chrome Bronze

Traditional wall sconce lighting works hardest in the places a ceiling fixture cannot reach: the wall beside a bed, the length of a hallway, the space either side of a mirror. This fixture keeps that job simple. The shade diffuses the bulb so you get a soft pool of light rather than a bright point, and the compact backplate means it sits close to the wall without crowding a narrow space.

What The Pleated Shade Wall Sconce Is Made From

The frame is metal, finished in tumbled brass, antique bronze or chrome. The shade is linen and comes pleated for a more traditional look or plain for a cleaner line. Both shade options share the same dimensions, so the choice between them is purely visual.

The single head version measures 7 inches wide, 10 inches deep and 10 inches high. The twin head version measures 15.5 inches wide, 9 inches deep and 10 inches high in the specification table, although the variant list gives its width as 16 inches. Treat the specification table as the working figure and allow a little tolerance when planning a tight gap. Weight is 3.5 pounds, comfortably within what a standard wall box will carry.

Bulbs, Wiring And Installation

The sconce is hardwired, so it connects to a junction box behind the backplate rather than plugging into a socket. There is no cord to hide and no switch on the fixture itself, which means it is normally run from a wall switch. If the wall has no existing box at sconce height, budget for an electrician to add one before the fixture arrives.

It takes an E12 candelabra base bulb rated up to 40 watts, and bulbs are not supplied. A warm white LED candelabra bulb gives the same look as an incandescent at a fraction of the running cost, and because the shade conceals the bulb entirely, the shape of the bulb does not matter.

Choosing A Finish And A Head Layout

Tumbled brass reads warm and works well against wood panelling and painted plaster. Chrome is cooler and brighter, and suits bathrooms and kitchens. Antique bronze is the darkest of the three, and the supplier notes it appears closer to black in person than the name suggests, so plan for a near black rather than a brown.

A single head suits a bedside or a narrow hallway. The twin head version spans a little over 15 inches and is better placed above a mirror or a piece of furniture, where the extra width is balanced by what sits underneath it.
