Know before you buy
This fixture uses two E12 base bulbs. Each socket is rated for a maximum of 60 watts.
While the Carthay is UL certified for safety, it is not specifically rated for damp or wet locations. It is best suited for dry interior spaces like hallways, bedrooms, or dining areas.
The abaca rope is a natural fiber that provides a textured, organic look. To maintain its appearance, we recommend dusting it gently with a soft, dry cloth and keeping it away from direct moisture.
Yes, this sconce is compatible with standard dimmer switches, provided you use dimmable bulbs. This allows you to adjust the light output to suit the mood of your space.
The sconce measures 8 inches wide, 24 inches high, and extends 5.75 inches from the wall.
The dark contemporary gold leaf finish has a sophisticated, muted luster rather than a high-gloss shine. It provides a warm, elegant contrast to the natural rope and linen shade.
