What Is a Wall Sconce?
A wall sconce is a lighting fixture mounted directly to a wall, typically hardwired, that provides ambient or task illumination without occupying floor or table space. Unlike plug in wall sconces, hardwired models like the Manuscript integrate cleanly into room wiring and are often dimmable for flexible light control.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Manuscript Wall Sconce
- Antique Mirror Interior -- hand-fitted slices of antiqued mirror create a luminous reflector that amplifies light and adds vintage character.
- Mole Black Exterior Finish -- the wrought iron shade in rich mole black delivers modern farmhouse style and a bold frame for the mirrored interior.
- Dimmable Hardwired Design -- standard E26 socket works with dimmable bulbs up to 120V, allowing you to adjust ambiance in bedrooms, bathrooms, or living spaces.
- Damp Location Certified -- suitable for moisture-prone areas like vanity walls, powder rooms, or covered porches where humidity is present.
- Extended Projection -- the 19-inch depth provides generous illumination reach, making it ideal for reading nooks or flanking hallway mirrors.
- Handcrafted Quality -- each fixture is individually crafted in the Philippines, with natural size variations within ±3 percent tolerance that underscore its artisan origin.
Where Should You Hang a Black Wall Sconce?
The Manuscript's dramatic contrast and damp-location rating make it especially effective flanking bathroom mirrors at 66 to 70 inches above the floor, or in pairs along a hallway spaced 6 to 8 feet apart. Layer it with other wall sconces and table lamps from our lighting fixtures collection to create a cohesive scheme in a living room or entryway.
