What Is a Hardwired Wall Sconce?
A hardwired wall sconce is a lighting fixture that connects directly to a home's electrical system through junction boxes, eliminating visible cords and plugs. Unlike plug in wall sconces, hardwired fixtures require professional installation but offer a cleaner, integrated look and support dimmable lighting features when paired with compatible switches.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Mathilda Wall Sconce
- Brutalist Cast Brass Construction -- unique markings on the wallplate and arms create textural depth and architectural character.
- Dual Milky White Glass Shades -- two curved glass shades diffuse light softly while balancing the raw texture of the brass.
- Reversible Orientation -- choose right or left mounting to flank mirrors, frame doorways, or accommodate existing electrical boxes.
- Dimmable Functionality -- adjust light levels for task lighting in bathrooms or ambient glow in hallways and bedrooms.
- Curved Symmetrical Arms -- the sweeping arm design complements both modern and traditional interiors without overwhelming the wall.
- Matte Gold Finish -- a warm, non-reflective gold finish layers well with brass bathroom fixtures, hardware, and mirror frames.
Where Should You Use a Gold Wall Sconce?
The Mathilda sconce works beautifully flanking bathroom vanity mirrors -- the 15-inch width and dual shades provide balanced illumination for grooming tasks. In hallways, pair two or more sconces along a gallery wall or above console tables, coordinating with pieces from our living room furniture and lighting fixtures collections. Bedside installation offers focused reading light when mounted 60-66 inches from the floor; explore complementary pieces in our wall lights & sconces and broader lighting collections to create cohesive layered lighting schemes.
