Know before you buy
Yes, the Mathilda Wall Sconce uses two E12 candelabra-base bulbs. It supports a maximum of 60 watts per socket, totaling 120 watts.
Yes, this fixture is fully dimmable. We recommend pairing it with a compatible LED dimmer switch to achieve the desired ambiance.
The Mathilda is an asymmetrical design. The 'Right' version features the primary visual weight or orientation on the right side, which is important to consider if you are planning to install a pair on either side of a mirror or piece of art.
The finish is a high-quality cast brass with a matte gold application. To maintain its appearance, simply dust it periodically with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the textured surface.
The sconce has a depth of 5 inches. This slim profile makes it an excellent choice for hallways or narrower spaces where you want a statement piece without significant protrusion.
The milky white glass shades are designed to slide securely into the pronounced prongs of the fixture. While they provide a delicate, jewelry-like appearance, they are sturdy; however, we recommend careful handling during installation to ensure they are seated properly in the prongs.
