What customers say
The Philomena Single Sconce is celebrated for its exceptional design and superior material quality, often called "architectural jewelry." Buyers consistently praise the substantial weight, flawless finish, and rich patina, noting the fixture feels far more premium than expected. The design expertly diffuses light, creating a warm ambient glow perfect for enhancing spaces without harshness. While installation requires care due to its weight, the overall consensus is that the sophisticated aesthetic and enduring quality fully justify the luxury price point. This sconce is viewed as a significant design element that elevates home style.
Know before you buy
Yes, the fixture is damp rated, making it suitable for use in bathrooms or other areas with moisture, provided it is not in direct contact with water.
The Antique Brass finish is designed to develop a unique patina over time as it reacts to the environment. You can simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean, but avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the finish.
No, the fixture requires one E12 bulb, which must be purchased separately. It is rated for a maximum of 4.5W.
While the fixture is hardwired, dimmability depends on the specific E12 bulb you choose to install. Ensure you select a dimmable bulb and use a compatible dimmer switch to achieve your desired light levels.
The Philomena Single Sconce is a hardwired fixture, meaning it must be connected directly to your home's electrical wiring. We recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician to ensure it is mounted securely to the wall.
