What Is a Swing Arm Sconce?
A swing arm sconce is a hardwired wall sconce with an articulating arm that allows the light fixture to extend outward and pivot, directing illumination exactly where needed. This adjustable design makes swing arm wall sconces ideal for reading nooks, bedside lighting, and task areas where focused light is essential.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Serpa Single Wall Sconce
- Adjustable Swing Arm -- the 25-inch depth provides exceptional reach for directing light over a bed, chair, or desk.
- French Black Finish -- rubbed wrought iron creates a lightly weathered, vintage aesthetic that complements both modern wall sconce schemes and traditional interiors.
- Gold Leaf Interior Shade -- the reflective gold interior amplifies light output and creates a warm glow, making this black wall sconce an excellent reading light.

The French black finish coordinates beautifully with brass wall sconce fixtures and other lighting fixtures in mixed-metal schemes, while the swing arm design works perfectly in living room reading corners or home offices.
