Know before you buy
The obsidian glaze is designed to react with its environment, meaning it will gradually develop a unique, organic patina. This ensures that your specific piece will evolve in character and tone the longer you own it.
The sconce requires assembly and should be wall-mounted. We recommend having a professional electrician handle the installation to ensure it is securely mounted and properly hardwired.
The hand-placed ceramic strips act as a diffuser, breaking up the light to cast a soft, textured glow. It is designed more for ambient mood lighting rather than task-heavy illumination.
The sconce is crafted from ceramic stoneware, which is durable, but it is not explicitly rated for wet or damp locations. It is best suited for dry interior spaces like hallways, living rooms, or bedrooms.
The fixture measures 20 inches high, 5.5 inches wide, and extends 4 inches from the wall. Given its 8-pound weight, ensure your wall surface is sturdy enough to support the ceramic construction.
