Hallway & stair run
Mix the heights — same footprint and finish, so a staggered run reads as one composition. Keep centres level at about 66″.
Set of 3 · one wall switch, equal spacing
Vanity pair
Sconces at eye level, 28–36″ apart, either side of the mirror. This fixture is IP20 (dry rooms only) — for a bathroom choose a damp-rated sconce.
01Overview
Hardwired 1950s wall sconce with brass mesh backplate and tapered milk glass shade; takes G9 bulb.
A modest 5.5" wide wall sconce that reads Mid Century Modern in any room. Milk glass diffuses warm ambient light without glare. Mount it as a single accent above a console or nightstand, or flank a mirror in pairs—verify your wall can support hardwired installation before ordering.

08Questions
Is this a plug-in sconce?
No. This fixture is hardwired to your wall circuit. It requires professional or skilled DIY installation and connection to an external wall switch.
Can I use this as a single wall sconce or do I need to buy two?
Works alone or in pairs. A single fixture suits a nightstand, reading nook, or entry accent. Two flanking a mirror create balanced bathroom or bedroom lighting.
What bulb does it take and is one included?
G9 base bulb. Bulb is not included. We recommend warm white LED (2700K) for the soft vintage glow this design deserves.
How does the pull-chain switch work?
The chain on the fixture toggles power on and off at the lamp. The external wall switch must be left on to supply electricity. Both controls are needed.
