Know before you buy
This fixture uses a single E12 candelabra-base bulb. It supports up to 60 watts, though you can use LED equivalents to achieve the same brightness with lower energy consumption.
The aged bronze finish is intentionally applied to settle into the crevices of the aluminum frame. This creates a high-contrast, textural look that highlights the piece's medieval-inspired design rather than providing a perfectly uniform color.
While the aluminum construction is durable, this fixture is primarily designed for interior use. Please check with a professional electrician to ensure it meets the specific safety requirements for your intended location.
The sconce measures 6 inches wide and 20 inches high. Because of its vertical orientation, it works best in areas with enough height to showcase its stature, such as flanking a doorway or a mirror.
Yes, this fixture is compatible with standard wall dimmers. Using a dimmable bulb will allow you to adjust the intensity to suit the mood of your room.
