A tube of solid brass, split by a single slit of light. This sconce is reduced to one gesture: a slender cylinder in a deep red-bronze patina, mounted off a flat backplate, with a narrow vertical slot cut down its face. Inside, a warm LED glows through that slot as a fine line of gold, while light also escapes from the open ends to wash the wall above and below.
Off, it reads as a beautifully finished piece of metal, its brushed surface shifting between copper, chocolate and rose as you move past. On, it gives three kinds of light at once — a glowing seam, an upward wash and a downward pool — which is what makes it feel so rich in a room.
Why it is worth the wall
-
Solid brass, red antique bronze finish. A hand-brushed patina with warm copper-red depth that looks better in person than in any photograph, and better still with time.
-
Light in three directions. Up, down and through the slit, so the wall glows and the fixture itself becomes a line of light.
-
Slim and architectural. Just 3.1" wide, it fits narrow walls beside a bed, a doorway or a mirror, and looks equally good alone or in a long run.
-
Two heights. 13" for bedside and smaller walls, 21.7" for living rooms, stairs and taller ceilings.
-
Warm 10W LED, included. Integrated and ready to install, with nothing to buy.
Which size is right?
| Small — H 13" |
Bedside, either side of a mirror or desk, smaller hallways |
| Large — H 21.7" |
Flanking a sofa, fireplace or doorway, stairwells, rooms with ceilings 9 ft and higher |
Where it belongs
Use a pair of the small size in place of bedside lamps, or either side of a study desk or bookcase. In the living room, a pair of the large size framing a fireplace, artwork or sofa adds warmth and height. Against dark green, charcoal or plaster walls, the red-bronze finish really comes alive.

A note on the finish: the antique patina is applied and brushed by hand, so tone and texture vary slightly from piece to piece and from the photographs. These are marks of the craft, not defects.
Frequently asked questions
Is it solid brass?
Yes. The tube and backplate are solid brass, finished by hand in a red antique bronze patina.
Where does the light go?
Light shines up and down from the open ends of the tube, washing the wall, and also glows through the vertical slit in the front.
How high should I mount it?
Beside a bed, place the center of the small size about 50–60 inches from the floor. Elsewhere, center either size about 60–66 inches from the floor. Allow some open wall above and below so the up and down light can spread.
Do I need to buy bulbs?
No. The 10W LED is integrated and included.
How do I care for the finish?
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid metal polish and abrasive or chemical cleaners, which would strip the hand-applied patina.
