Sometimes a piece that surpasses the sum of its parts, still boasts fine parts indeed. The Clayton sconce makes this alchemy happen with simple elements and a shape that is strong, functional, and arresting —add the brushed nickel and chrome finish, and it’s instantly a classic. The circular wall plate and arm have streamlined details, and suspend a closed cylinder of crystal-clear glass around the down-facing 60W, E-type bulb. This glass shade has a convex dome, which nicely echoes the shape of the lamp. The Clayton will look great in any industrial-inspired, contemporary, urban farmhouse, mid-century, or transitional milieu. And at 5” wide by 11” high, you can place the sconce in pairs or groups for warm, sophisticated illumination, without gobbling up too much space.
