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.
Fits a standard single-gang wall box. All mounting hardware is included.
For symmetrical pairs, mount one Left-Facing and one Right-Facing twin at the same height, equally spaced from your central feature (mirror centre, bed centre, fireplace centre).
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.
Hand-finished in natural materials — alabaster, marble, brass, and blown glass — so slight variation in veining, grain, or patina between pieces is normal and expected.
Hardwired or plug-in per listing; check the individual product page for the exact wiring type and included cord length.
Compatible with standard dimmer switches unless the listing notes otherwise.
Bulb base type (e.g. E12, E26) is listed on each product page; bulbs are not included unless stated.
Select pieces are made to order — see the product page for current lead time before ordering.
Materials and care
Alabaster, marble & stone: dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water and household cleaners — they can etch or stain natural stone.
Brass & metal finishes: wipe with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which will strip the patina.
Fabric shades: spot clean only with a dry cloth.
Glass: apply a mild glass cleaner to a soft cloth, not directly to the fixture.
Always turn off and let the fixture cool before cleaning.
Keep fixtures away from direct moisture unless the listing specifies it's rated for outdoor or wet locations.
Styling tips
Wall sconces: mount at 60–66″ from the floor to the center of the fixture; space paired sconces 24–30″ apart.
Pendants: hang 30–36″ above a table or counter surface, adjusting for ceiling height.
Chandeliers: as a general sizing guide, allow roughly 2.5–3″ of fixture width for every foot of room width.
Warmer bulb temperatures (2700K–3000K) bring out the tone in natural materials like alabaster and brass.
Pairing with a dimmer switch gives you more control over ambiance in living and dining spaces.
