Rustic Wooden Wall Sconce | Handwoven Rattan And Wood Light Fixture For Hallways and Bedrooms

Rattan does something to light that metal and glass cannot. This Marlow Vane wall sconce wraps a handwoven rattan shade around the fitting, so the light comes through the weave in a pattern rather than as a flat wash. Against a plain wall it throws a soft shadow that changes as you move past it, which is why a single sconce can carry an otherwise empty hallway.

The frame is wood, and because the rattan is handwoven the weave varies a little from piece to piece. That is the point rather than a fault. The warm natural materials sit comfortably against white plaster, exposed brick, timber panelling and the kind of textured plaster finishes that make a colder fitting look out of place. It suits a bedroom, a landing, a reading corner or the wall beside a staircase.

Buy it now if your hallway needs warmth rather than more brightness. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, with the circuit isolated at the breaker before work starts. Dust the rattan gently with a soft brush or a vacuum brush head, and keep it away from damp rooms such as bathrooms.
