The design features a black-lacquered wall mount, a slender brass arm and a cylindrical black metal holder supporting a spherical opaline glass shade that provides a soft, diffused light. The backplate measures 9.5 cm by 7.5 cm (approximately 3.74 in by 2.95 in), making the piece easy to place even in narrow spaces. The interplay of matte black elements and warm brass accents gives the sconce a modern yet timeless character, ideal next to a bed, reading corner or hallway. It uses a standard E14 bulb, suitable for both Europe and North America with the appropriate wiring.
