Know before you buy
Classical Revival refers to a design movement from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that drew inspiration from Greek, Roman, and Beaux-Arts architecture. These sconces reflect that era's focus on formal symmetry, ornate detailing, and historical elegance.
These are sold as a pair, making them ideal for flanking a fireplace, a mirror, or a bed.
Yes, because these sconces are hardwired, they require a direct electrical connection to your home's wiring. We recommend hiring a licensed electrician to ensure the installation is safe and meets local building codes.
To maintain the brass, dust the fixtures regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the finish and patina over time.
Yes, these fixtures are generally compatible with standard wall-mounted dimmer switches, provided you use dimmable light bulbs. This allows you to adjust the intensity of the light to suit the mood of your room.
