Wall Sconce · Brass or Black · White Bell Shade · 1 or 2 Heads · E12 / E14
A pair of swooping curved arms extend from the wall plate and terminate in white bell-shaped fabric shades — the arm curvature following a classical Dutch-inspired geometry: a downward sweep that levels out before rising slightly to meet the shade, a form that reads as both structural and decorative. The bell shade is traditional in proportion: wide at the lip, gently tapered, with the rim trim that defines the silhouette from a distance. Available in brass or black body finish; the shade is white on both versions.
The single-head version (D 15 cm / H 38 cm) suits narrow hallways, bedrooms, and positions where a compact sconce is needed on either side of a mirror or artwork. The two-head version (D 38 cm / H 38 cm) has both arms extending from the same back plate — it suits wider walls, living rooms, and positions above a console or sofa where more spread and light output are appropriate.
Finish — Choose at Checkout
The shade is white fabric on both versions. Choose your arm and body finish below.
Brass
Warm polished brass arms and body — the curved form catches the light as a warm golden line against the wall. Suits traditional, transitional, and warm-toned interiors. The white shade provides a clean contrast to the brass arm.
Black
Matte black arms and body — the curved form reads as a graphic silhouette. The white shade creates a high-contrast pairing. Suits contemporary, Scandi, and neutral-palette interiors where the classical form is balanced by the modern finish.
Size — Choose at Checkout
Bedrooms, hallways, and flanking installations where two single sconces are installed symmetrically on either side of a mirror, headboard, or artwork.
Living rooms, dining rooms, and wider walls where both arms extend from a single back plate. More output and visual mass from a single installation point.
Bulbs are not included. Each arm uses one E12 (US) or E14 (international) candelabra socket. We recommend 2–4W LED E12/E14 candelabra flame-tip bulbs at 2700K warm white — the flame-tip shape suits the bell-shade candelabra aesthetic, and the warm tone complements both brass and black finishes. A standard cylindrical or globe E12/E14 LED also works fine.

FAQ
Brass or Black — which suits my interior? +
Brass is the warmer and more traditional choice — the curved arm catches the light as a warm golden line and the classical Dutch-inspired form reads most naturally in its period-appropriate material. Suits traditional, French country, colonial, and warm-toned transitional interiors. Black reframes the same classical silhouette in a contemporary register — the curved arm reads as graphic line rather than decorative metalwork, and the white shade provides a clean high-contrast pairing. Suits Scandi, contemporary-transitional, and neutral interiors where the form is appreciated but a warm metal would feel period-heavy.
1-head or 2-head — how should I choose? +
Choose the 1-head when you intend to install two sconces symmetrically — flanking a headboard, a mirror, or a piece of artwork. Two single-head Yorktowns, each with one arm extending outward, create a balanced wall composition. Choose the 2-head when you want more spread and light output from a single installation point — the two arms extend to each side from the same back plate, covering a wider wall section without requiring two separate wiring points. The 2-head suits a living room or dining room wall where a single centered fixture with bilateral reach is preferred.
What is the wall depth (projection from the wall)? +
The 1-head projects 15 cm from the wall surface — the curved arm sweeps outward to a maximum depth of 15 cm before the shade. This is modest and suits narrow hallways. The 2-head projects 38 cm total — this is the combined arm reach to each side (approximately 19 cm to each arm tip from the center backplate). In a narrow hallway, confirm that a 19 cm outward projection does not obstruct passage before choosing the 2-head version.
Is it dimmable? +
Yes, when fitted with dimmable E12/E14 LED candelabra bulbs and a compatible TRIAC wall dimmer switch (both sold separately). Specify “dimmable” when purchasing LED candelabra bulbs and confirm your dimmer is rated for LED loads. Dimming to 30–50% produces a soft, candlelit atmosphere through the white bell shades that suits the classical character of the Yorktown.
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.
- 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
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.
