Neoclassical Brass Wall Sconce with Lattice Basket Body & Bow Crown, Double Arm

Design & Inspiration

Few lighting forms command a wall with the quiet authority of the classical French wall sconce, and this double-arm piece from Brass & Wood is a masterful interpretation of that tradition. Inspired by the refined vocabulary of Louis XVI Neoclassical design — a period that celebrated order, symmetry, and naturalistic ornament — this sconce translates the grandeur of Versailles into a format perfectly suited to the modern luxury interior. Its defining silhouette: two gracefully arched arms sweeping outward from a central lattice-work basket body, the entire composition crowned by a delicately cast ribbon bow — a motif that was a hallmark of the Louis XVI period, symbolising elegance and refinement in 18th-century French court décor.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Every element of this wall sconce is cast and finished by hand in solid brass, a material prized for its warm golden resonance and its ability to hold the finest decorative detail. The centrepiece basket is executed in an open-lattice diamond fretwork pattern, a technique that required skilled casting to achieve the precise regularity of each interlocking cell. The vertical stem rising through the basket is adorned with a cast laurel-leaf appliqué — a quintessential Neoclassical motif evoking classical antiquity. The two curved arms, reeded along their length, terminate in leafy rosette mounts before cradling the matching champagne-tinted blown-glass shades, whose gently flared and scalloped profiles add a softness that balances the architectural precision of the brass framework. The finish is applied by hand, achieving a warm, luminous depth across all surfaces.

Dimensions & Details

This sconce accommodates two E14 candle-base bulbs, each rated up to 40W, making it ideally suited for ambient and accent lighting in drawing rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and reception areas. The dual-light configuration delivers a balanced spread of warm light, amplified by the champagne glass shades that diffuse the glow with an antique warmth. Compatible with both 110V and 220V electrical systems, this sconce is ready for installation worldwide. The piece weighs 4 kg, reflecting the substantial mass of genuine solid-brass construction. Minimal assembly is required upon installation.

Handcrafted in Egypt

This sconce is crafted entirely by hand in Egypt by artisans who have inherited decades of expertise in classical European brass work. At Brass & Wood, we believe that true luxury lies in the hours of skilled labour invested in each piece — in the patience of the caster who fills every lattice cell, in the hand that fits each laurel leaf, and in the artisan who polishes each surface to its final luminous finish. The result is a wall sconce that does not merely illuminate a room — it inhabits it, lending the settled authority of a European heirloom to any space it graces. Customisation in finish colour is available: choose from Gold, Silver, or Antique Gold to suit your interior palette.
