Carleton White Wall Sconce

For optimal lighting and to minimize shadows, we recommend mounting vanity fixtures approximately 75 to 80 inches from the floor. Since this sconce is 27 inches wide, it is ideally scaled for standard single vanities or as a pair over double vanities. Centering the fixture above the mirror ensures balanced, even illumination for daily tasks like grooming or applying makeup.

This fixture is specifically designed as a bath vanity fixture, making it well-suited for the humidity levels typically found in a bathroom. The metal and glass construction are durable materials that hold up well in these conditions. To maintain the silver finish over time, our care guides suggest dusting regularly with a soft cloth to prevent moisture-related buildup and preserve the fixture's luster.

Yes, with four individual light points, this fixture provides significant illumination, making it an excellent primary light source for most powder rooms or primary baths. The white glass shades help diffuse the light, reducing harsh glare while maintaining high visibility. For larger bathrooms, our experts suggest layering this fixture with recessed ceiling lights to create a comprehensive, well-lit environment.

Yes, we strongly recommend a professional electrician for the installation of this fixture. As a hardwired sconce, it must be integrated directly into your home's electrical system to achieve its clean, built-in appearance. Professional installation ensures the fixture is safely grounded and securely mounted, which is essential for permanent lighting in high-traffic areas.

The handmade white swirled glass panels on this fixture offer an artisanal quality that mass-produced glass cannot replicate. These panels feature pressed hourglass contours that create a sophisticated play of light and shadow when illuminated. Beyond aesthetics, the high-quality glass acts as a natural diffuser, providing a soft, flattering glow that is ideal for vanity areas where harsh, direct lighting can be problematic.

This fixture features a sleek silver metal finish and a rectangular silhouette that draws inspiration from the Art Deco period, known for geometric shapes and refined textures. This "transitional" design allows it to bridge the gap between classic elegance and modern minimalism. It is particularly effective for homeowners looking to add a touch of refined luxury to a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
