Know before you buy

The Harlem Wall Sconce is UL certified for safety, but it is designed for dry indoor locations. We recommend avoiding installation in bathrooms or areas with high humidity to preserve the finish and structural integrity.
The linen drum shade acts as a diffuser, softening the light from the bulb to create a warm, ambient glow. It helps reduce glare while providing a clean, visual focal point for the fixture.
Yes, this fixture is compatible with standard dimmer switches, provided you use a dimmable E12 bulb. This allows you to adjust the light intensity to suit the mood of your space.
The Harlem Wall Sconce is crafted from durable steel, ensuring a sturdy build that supports its elegant, swooping arm design.
To maintain the finish, simply dust the fixture and shade regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the protective coating on the metal.
