Modern Curl Wall Sconce | Black Metal Indoor Wall Light In 33, 53 and 76 Centimetre Lengths

A curved sconce does something a straight one cannot. The line of the metal carries your eye along the wall, so the fitting works as a drawn shape as well as a light source, and it fills a run of wall that a small round fixture would leave looking empty. This Marlow Vane sconce is finished in black, which keeps the curve reading as a line rather than a mass.

Three lengths change what the piece is for. Thirty three centimetres is a bedside or a cloakroom light. Fifty three centimetres is the version for a hallway or beside a mirror, where the extra length starts to matter. Seventy six centimetres is architectural, the size you use above a headboard, along a stairwell or on the long blank wall in an open plan room.

Buy it now and measure the wall before choosing the length, because the shorter version on a large wall looks like a mistake rather than a decision. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, with the circuit isolated at the breaker first. Dust the metal with a soft dry cloth once it is cool, and avoid household sprays on the black finish.
