Stacked Leather Hide · Antique Brass · Glass Globe
A wall sconce that celebrates the quiet beauty of stacked natural leather. The Threadline Globe's cylindrical body is built from individually cut hide disks threaded onto a slim vertical core — each disk's raw edge slightly different, forming a textured column that catches light along its grain. A glass globe at the tip diffuses a warm G9 glow, anchored to the wall by a minimalist antique brass backplate.
Each piece is unique. Because the disks are cut from natural hide, no two sconces share the same edge pattern — variation in tone, grain, and edge texture is the signature of working with full-grain leather, not a defect.
Features
Stacked Leather Hide
Hand-cut hide disks threaded onto a vertical core — raw edges visible, each one slightly unique.
Glass Globe Diffuser
A round glass shade softens the G9 bulb into ambient light — warmth, not glare.
Minimalist Brass Backplate
Solid antique brass, hand-finished — sits flat against the wall and recedes into the composition.
Leather Color — Choose at Checkout
Brown
Warm saddle leather — earthy, classic, ages beautifully.
Black
Deep matte hide — modern, architectural, holds shadow well.
White
Luminous milk glass — gallery-clean and pure, letting brass accents read warmer.
Brass backplate is constant across all leather colors. Every Threadline Globe ships with the same hand-finished antique brass hardware — only the leather color changes between variants.

Bulb not included. The Threadline Globe uses a G9 bi-pin base — we recommend a slim G9 LED in warm white (2700K), 3–4W. Because the glass globe diffuses the light, bulb shape is less critical than it would be on a clear-glass fixture.
Installation
- Hardwired wall installation — a licensed electrician is recommended.
- Fits a standard single-gang wall box. All mounting hardware is included.
- Dimmable when paired with a dimmable G9 LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora).
- Recommended placement: at eye level (≈ 150 cm / 60″ from floor) for corridors and entries; 75–90 cm above the bedside surface for bedroom use.
- Indoor use only — keep the leather away from damp locations and direct steam.

FAQ
Will the leather vary between units? +
Yes — each disk is cut from natural full-grain hide, so edge texture, color depth, and grain pattern differ slightly between pieces. This is the signature of working with natural leather, not a defect. If you're ordering a pair (e.g. flanking a bed), we recommend ordering at the same time so the two sconces are cut from the same hide batch.
How do I care for the leather? +
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid moisture, harsh cleaners, and leather conditioners — most conditioners darken the hide and can disturb the stacked-edge texture. Keep the sconce out of direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading, and avoid damp locations.
Will the brass backplate develop a patina? +
The antique brass backplate is hand-finished with a pre-aged surface. Under normal indoor conditions it stays stable — the finish will not patina or tarnish dramatically. Light tonal variation across the brass surface is part of the hand-finishing process and is intended.
Which bulb do you recommend? +
A G9 bi-pin LED in warm white (2700K), 3–4W. Because the glass globe diffuses the light, the bulb's exact shape is hidden — you can choose any standard G9 capsule LED. For dimming, make sure the bulb is rated dimmable and pair it with a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer.
How big is this sconce and where does it work best? +
The Threadline Globe is 48 cm (18.9″) tall — a vertical accent that reads strongly without dominating. It works beautifully flanking a bed, a bathroom mirror, an entryway console, or along a long hallway. Hung in pairs at matched heights, the stacked-leather rhythm becomes a quiet architectural element.
Is the sconce dimmable? +
Yes — paired with a dimmable G9 LED bulb and a TRIAC-compatible wall dimmer (e.g. Lutron Skylark, Leviton Decora), the Threadline Globe dims smoothly. Note: not all G9 LEDs are dimmable, so verify the bulb specifications before purchasing.
Product features
Product features
- 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.

- Select pieces are made to order — see the product page for current lead time before ordering.
Materials and care
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
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.
