Know before you buy
The ice onyx lens acts as a diffuser for the integrated LED, creating a soft, ambient glow that mimics the iridescence of mother-of-pearl. It is designed for mood lighting rather than task lighting, making it ideal for creating a warm atmosphere.
Because ice onyx is a natural material, each piece features unique veining and color variations. You should expect slight differences in the pattern and tone of the stone compared to the marketing images, which adds to the artisanal character of the fixture.
No, the Ares Sconce uses an integrated LED light source. This means the light is built directly into the fixture, so you do not need to purchase or replace traditional bulbs.
The Vintage Brass finish is designed to be durable and maintain its warm, luxurious tone over time. To keep it looking its best, simply wipe it down occasionally with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
While the Ares Sconce is perfect for a powder room, it is not rated for high-moisture environments like a full bathroom with a shower or tub. It is best suited for dry, intimate spaces such as hallways, bedrooms, or powder rooms.
