Know before you buy
Yes, this fixture is damp-rated, making it suitable for bathrooms or other areas with moisture, provided it is not in direct contact with water.
A living finish is unlacquered, meaning the metal will naturally oxidize and develop a unique patina over time based on your environment. This creates a personalized, aged look that evolves with your home.
No, the bulb is not included. You will need to purchase an E12 base, Type B bulb, with a maximum wattage of 40W or a 4W LED equivalent.
The Southwark Sconce is not dimmable. It is designed for standard on-off operation.
This fixture requires a hardwired connection, and professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure it is mounted safely and correctly.
The square backplate measures 4.75 inches wide by 4.75 inches high, with a depth of 0.5 inches.
