Details
An adjustable swing arm wall sconce in solid brass with a solid copper cone shade. A round aged brass backplate with small finials at top and bottom holds a three-point arm made of two slim brass rods joined by ball joints with small wing-nut knobs, so you can swing, lift and angle the light. The shade hangs from an aged brass socket cup with a narrow decorative scrolled band, and the copper has a warm, reddish-brown aged patina outside with a lighter copper glow inside.
Use it as task lighting over a kitchen counter or open shelf, as a reading light beside a bed, or over a bathroom vanity. The brass is hand-finished and unlacquered, so its living patina keeps developing with time and touch.

Care and patina
Brass and copper are living finishes. Dust with a soft dry cloth and let the patina deepen, or use a brass or copper polish if you prefer it brighter. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads. See our Care and Patina Guide for the full routine.
How it compares: Our Brushed Brass Gooseneck Cone Shade Wall Sconce also has a cone shade, but on a fixed gooseneck arm in brushed brass. This sconce has a fully adjustable swing arm, an aged brass and copper finish, and is hardwired.

Size and hanging guide
Choosing a size. Pick the diameter in the selector above. As a rough guide, an 8 to 12 in shade suits a small island, a bedside or a breakfast nook, 14 to 18 in suits a standard island or dining table, and 22 in works as a single centrepiece over a large table.
- Kitchen islands: hang two or three pendants evenly spaced, with the bottom of each shade about 30 to 36 in above the counter.
- Dining tables: hang the bottom of the shade about 30 to 34 in above the tabletop, and choose a shade about half to two thirds of the table width.
- Cord length: measure from the ceiling to where you want the bottom of the shade, then choose the next cord length up.
Wiring and bulbs. Socket type and bulb details are listed in each product description. Installation by a licensed electrician is recommended.
Not sure which size or cord length? Send us your ceiling height and your table or island size and we will suggest one.
Craftsmanship
Every shade is shaped and hammered by hand in our workshop in Fes, Morocco, a city where coppersmiths have worked the metal for centuries. Small variations in the hammer marks and patina are what make each piece one of a kind.
Materials and care
Solid copper or brass. Raw finishes deepen into a natural patina over time, while oxidized and bronze finishes are made to look aged from the start. Switch the light off and let the shade cool, then dust it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive pads. Read our Care and Patina Guide.
