What Is a Swing Arm Sconce?
A swing arm sconce is a wall-mounted light fixture with articulated arms that pivot or extend, allowing you to direct the beam exactly where you need it for reading, task work, or accent lighting. Unlike fixed hardwired wall sconces, swing arm designs offer flexible positioning without requiring a separate table lamp.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Serpa Double Swing-Arm Wall Sconce
- Dual Swing-Arm Reach -- two independent 40-inch-depth arms let you position each light source precisely for bedside reading or desk tasks.
- Gold Leaf Reflectors -- interior gold leaf finish on the shades reflects warm light upward and outward, enhancing ambiance while reducing glare.
- French Black Weathered Finish -- lightly rubbed black on slender wrought iron frames adds modern vintage character to bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms.
- Dimmable Compatibility -- E12 candelabra sockets (bulbs sold separately) work with dimmable LED or incandescent bulbs for customizable brightness.
- Hardwired Installation -- designed for permanent wall mounting, this sconce frees up nightstand space and integrates cleanly into any wall sconce plan.
- Handcrafted Quality -- each fixture is crafted in the Philippines with artisan attention to detail, ensuring authentic finish variations that enhance the vintage aesthetic.

Mount the Serpa 60--66 inches from the floor to the center of the backplate for optimal bedside reading height, or flank a hallway mirror with a pair spaced 36--40 inches apart for balanced task lighting. Pair it with other pieces from the lighting fixtures collection or coordinate with metal accents in the living room furniture range for a cohesive modern look.
