Industrial Hand Wall Lamp | Sculptural Resin E26 Wall Sconce In A Left or Right Handed Form

A sculpted hand holding a bulb is a deliberately theatrical object and it belongs on a wall that can carry one. This is not a fitting that recedes. It is the thing people look at when they walk into the room, which makes it right for a bar, a restaurant, a loft or a hallway and wrong for a wall that already has art on it.

Solid resin is what makes the detail possible. The material takes a fine cast, so the modelling on the fingers and the knuckles holds up at close range rather than turning into a soft blob the way a moulded plastic version would, and it gives the piece enough weight to sit properly against the wall rather than feeling hollow when you touch it.

Buy it now as a mirrored pair, one left and one right, either side of a doorway or a mirror, which is how this shape looks most deliberate. It measures fourteen and a half by ten by nine centimetres and takes an E26 or E27 bulb which is not included. A vintage filament bulb suits this fitting far better than a frosted one, because the bulb is as much of the object as the hand holding it. Fit by a qualified electrician.
