Brass Wall Sconces, Made by Hand
A wall light shapes a room at eye level, where you notice it most. Our brass wall sconces are each made by hand and custom made to order, priced from $380 to $1,350. Many take their cues from 1950s Italian style, with slim brass forms and soft, directed light.
Picking a sconce by room
- Living room: two-light and six-light designs give wall lights for living room walls enough presence to frame a sofa or a fireplace.
- Bedroom: compact sconces, one about 5 in wide, sit neatly beside the bed.
- Hallways and bathrooms: cylinder and globe sconces, plus a custom vanity wall light, give an even, gentle glow.
Articulated and adjustable designs
If you read in bed or want to light a piece of art, choose an articulated wall lamp. Its arm moves so you can bring the light closer or angle it away. One industrial style sconce has three brass swivels with turn knobs that lock the light where you want it.
Shades and silhouettes
Each mid century wall sconce has its own character: a glass globe, a glass cylinder, an 8 in dome shade, a white glass mini-shade or a Stilnovo style cone. Every one of our brass wall sconces has a Finish option so it can match your hardware. For a fixture that mounts on either the wall or the ceiling, see our brass flush mount ceiling lights. To light the whole room, pair a sconce with a brass Sputnik chandelier or a handcrafted brass table lamp.
How ordering works
Sconces are custom made, with 24 hours of processing and 7 to 10 business days for delivery. Lighting cannot be returned unless it arrives damaged, defective or wrong, in which case we send a replacement, or refund you if a replacement is not available.

Frequently asked questions
Which brass wall sconce works best in a bedroom?
A compact one-light sconce or an articulated wall lamp works well beside the bed, since the arm lets you aim the light for reading.

Yes, on the articulated designs and on the industrial style sconce with three brass swivels and turn knobs.
Are these wall sconces modern or mid century?
Most are mid-century designs, several inspired by 1950s Italian style, including Stilnovo style and Sputnik style sconces, and they sit comfortably in modern rooms.
How long does a brass wall sconce take to arrive?
Each sconce is custom made, so allow 24 hours of processing and then 7 to 10 business days for delivery.
