Wavy Brass Arm · White Fabric Shade · Single & Twin Versions

A study in contrasting lines — the Magdalene pairs a softly waving metal arm with a clean-lined, traditional fabric shade, blending two design vocabularies in one quiet sconce. Available as a single fixture for accent placement, or a directional twin (Left & Right) for symmetrical bedside, mirror, or fireplace pairings.

Installation

  • Hardwired wall installation — a licensed electrician is recommended.

  • Recommended height: at eye level (≈ 150 cm / 60″ from floor) for general accent use; 80–100 cm above bedside for reading sconces.
  • Dimmable when paired with a dimmable LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer switch.

FAQ

What is the difference between Left-Facing and Right-Facing +

The twin (2-head) version has a wavy arm that sweeps in one direction. Left-Facing means the arm sweeps toward the left and is best mounted on the right side of a feature (so the curve flows toward the centre). Right-Facing mirrors this — sweeps right, mounts on the left. For a single sconce, choose whichever direction balances your wall composition.

Can I order one Left and one Right to make a pair +

Yes — that's the most common configuration for the twin version. Add one Left-Facing and one Right-Facing to your cart at checkout. They mirror each other to create perfect symmetry on either side of a bed, vanity mirror, fireplace, or hallway feature wall.

Is the shade colour an option +

The fabric shade is white only — a neutral cream-white that pairs cleanly with both Brass and Black metal finishes. The colour selection (Brass / Black) refers to the metal arm only.

Which size should I choose +

The single (1-head) version (∅ 25 cm) suits hallways, accent placement, or as a single bedside reading lamp. The twin (2-head) version (∅ 60 cm) is wider and more presence-driven — best for flanking a mirror, vanity, or feature wall, especially in pairs.

Which bulb do you recommend +

A warm white (2700K) LED bulb in E26 or E27 base, at 4–6W. A frosted or globe-style bulb gives the softest light through the white fabric shade. Avoid clear bulbs with sharp filaments — they may show too prominently behind the diffuser.

Is the lamp dimmable +

Yes — paired with a dimmable LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), the Magdalene dims smoothly. The fixture itself has no built-in dimmer.

How do I care for the fabric shade +

Gently dust the fabric shade with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. Avoid moisture, spot-cleaning sprays, or wet wiping — these may stain or weaken the fabric. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing over time.

Compact wall presence looks better in person than I expected and gives the console area a more open focal point. The backplate and shade proportions look understated together, especially in a narrower wall.

Even under late-afternoon light, the light spread gives the piece a visually calmer appearance. The backplate and shade proportions look refined together, especially in a narrower room.
