A brass arc wall sconce with two white glass shades is the fixture you choose when a room needs light without another table lamp. This one hangs two shades at staggered heights off a thick curved brass arm, measures 7.9 inches wide by 22 inches tall, and hardwires to a standard wall switch. It is IP 20 rated for indoor use and takes two G9 bulbs, which are sold separately.
Below is what actually matters before you buy: how the arc reads in a room, whether you need the left, the right, or the pair, where to mount it, and what bulbs to put in it. If you already know the layout you want, the full product page is here.
What the arc shape does for a room
Most wall sconces project straight out and light a narrow column. An arc fixture throws its shades off-axis, so the light lands where you want it and the hardware itself becomes a line in the room. On a bedroom wall, that means the shades can sit over a nightstand while the backplate stays centered over the bed—two useful light sources, one mounting point.
The body is brass with a gray-black finish option, and the shades are white glass. Brass reads warm and slightly reflective next to painted drywall; white glass keeps the light soft rather than punchy. The combination suits rooms with warm wood, plaster, or natural textiles better than it suits all-white minimalism, where the arc can look like a stray object.
Left, right, or the set of two
The fixture is directional. The left-hand and right-hand versions mirror each other, and each is sold separately. The set-of-two option includes one of each.
- Single side: works on a narrow wall, at the end of a hallway, or as a single bedside light where the bed is against one wall only.
- Set of two: the balanced configuration. Mount the pair to mirror across a bed, a console, or a hallway run.
Both orientations are hardwired the same way, so the choice is purely visual. Check the left and right options here before you commit to a pair.
If you are buying one now and one later, check the orientation before you order. A right-hand fixture used where you needed a left-hand one still lights the room—it just leans the wrong way relative to the composition, and that is the kind of detail you notice every day.
Sizing and placement
The listed dimensions are 7.9 inches wide (20.1 cm) by 22 inches tall (55.9 cm). That height is the reason placement matters more than it does with a compact sconce: a 22-inch fixture mounted too low will crowd a nightstand, and one mounted too high stops functioning as task light.
Starting points that work in most homes:
- Bedside: center the backplate 20–24 inches above the nightstand surface, or roughly 48–60 inches from the floor. With a 22-inch fixture, that puts the lower shade near eye level when seated.
- Hallway: 60–66 inches from the floor to the backplate center, then space fixtures 6–8 feet apart if you run more than one.
- Living room or console: align the backplate with the artwork or mirror it flanks, and keep at least 4 inches of clearance from the frame so the arc doesn’t visually collide with it.
Check the switch before you commit. This is a hardwired fixture and no switch is included, so it needs a wall switch or a switched circuit. In a bedroom without an existing switch leg, that usually means either a new circuit run or a smart relay—both worth pricing before you cut drywall.
Bulbs, color temperature, and dimming
Two G9 bulbs are required and neither is included. G9 LEDs are the practical choice: they run cool, they are widely available, and most are dimmable. Edison-style G9 bulbs give a warmer, more vintage look through white glass but run hotter and give off less light per watt.
Color temperature changes how the brass reads as much as how the room feels:
- 2700K: bedroom and bedside. Warm enough that the brass looks golden instead of yellow.
- 3000K: hallway and living room. Still warm, noticeably cleaner on white glass.
- Above 3500K: generally avoid here. Cool white makes white glass look gray and flattens the brass finish.
Match both bulbs to the same color temperature and, ideally, the same brand and model. Mixed bulbs behind two shades of the same fixture is one of the most common reasons a pair of sconces looks mismatched in photos and in person.
Where it should not go
The fixture is IP 20 damp-rated for indoor use only. That rules out bathrooms, covered porches, and anywhere with steam or direct moisture. If the goal is lighting beside a shower or above a tub, this is the wrong fixture regardless of how well the style fits.

FAQ
Can this sconce go in a bathroom?
No. It is IP 20 and rated for indoor use in dry areas. Hallways, living rooms, and bedrooms are appropriate; bathrooms, steam rooms, and outdoor locations are not.
Are bulbs included?
They are not. You need two G9 bulbs. LED G9 bulbs are the most practical choice for daily use, and Edison-style G9 bulbs suit a warmer, more decorative look.
Do I have to buy two fixtures?
No. The left-hand and right-hand versions are each sold on their own. The set-of-two option simply bundles one left and one right, which is what most people want for a bed wall or a hallway pair.
Does it come with a switch or cord?
It is hardwired and does not include a wall switch. It is controlled by a standard wall switch on the circuit, and professional installation is recommended.
How far does it come off the wall?
The listed size is 7.9 inches wide by 22 inches tall. The arc extends from the wall to place the two shades at different heights; treat the 7.9-inch width as the fixture’s footprint when checking clearance against a nightstand or a door swing.
Bottom line
Buy this sconce if you want a two-light fixture that reads as furniture rather than hardware, and if you have a wall switch and a dry indoor wall to mount it on. Pick the set of two for a bed wall or a hallway, buy a single left or right for a narrow spot, and budget for two dimmable 2700K–3000K G9 LEDs at the same time you order the fixture.
