Adjustable Swing Arm Brass Wall Sconce

The Adjustable Swing Arm Brass Wall Sconce from Solae Design is a working light that happens to be handsome. The articulated arm pivots at two points, so the shade can swing out over a book, fold back flat against the wall, or angle upward to wash the ceiling — all without touching the mounting plate. Nothing about the movement is stiff or fiddly; it holds position where you leave it.

The tailored fabric shade is trimmed in black piping, a small detail that stops the antique brass from reading too soft or too traditional. Light is directed rather than scattered, which is exactly what you want for reading in bed or working at a desk without lighting the whole room. Fit a dimmable lamp and a compatible dimmer to drop it back for evening use.

Mount a matching pair either side of a bed and reclaim both nightstands from lamps and cables. Use a single sconce beside an armchair where a floor lamp would crowd the walkway, or above a desk in a home office. The 6.5 inch shade sits on a compact 4.7 inch backplate, so it suits narrow walls as comfortably as generous ones.
