Iliad Post Black Sconce
SKU: 90537841
Add warmth and timeless style to your space with the Iliad Post sconce. For symmetrical design, pair two of these sconces on either side of beds, fireplaces, or mirrors or place individually in entryways or other spaces for a pop of light. A round 5in. diameter base crafted of black metal supports a slender arcing stem. Suspended from the stem is a stunning glass globe with an eye-catching beige swirl pattern that throws warm light from a 40W bulb. For versatile lighting options, an articulation point at the base of the glass globe allows you adjust the shade, directing the light wherever it's needed. Professional installation by an electrician is recommended.

Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Is this lighting fixture suitable for a small urban apartment or a narrow hallway?
This wall-mounted light is an excellent solution for space-constrained environments. With a slim 5-inch width and a design that mounts directly to the wall, it provides essential illumination without occupying valuable floor space or cluttering tabletop surfaces. Its wall-mounted nature makes it particularly effective for brightening narrow corridors or providing bedside light in rooms where there isn't enough space for traditional nightstands.
What is the recommended height for installing a wall sconce in a hallway or bedroom?
For most residential applications, such as hallways or transitional spaces, we recommend mounting the center of the fixture approximately 60 to 72 inches from the floor. In a bedroom, when placing them on either side of a bed, the bottom of the shade should be roughly level with your chin while sitting up. This ensures the light is positioned effectively for tasks like reading without creating uncomfortable glare.
How should I clean and maintain the glass and metal components of this light?
To preserve the black metal finish and the unique beige swirl pattern of the glass globe, our care guide recommends regular dusting with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. For a deeper clean, you may use a cloth slightly dampened with a mixture of mild soap and water on the glass shade. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can damage the protective finish on the metal frame or dull the glass.
Can the light from this sconce be directed toward a specific area for reading?
Yes, this fixture is designed for versatility. It features a built-in articulation point at the base of the glass globe, allowing you to adjust the shade and direct the warm light exactly where it is needed. This functionality makes it a practical choice for task-oriented areas, such as a home office desk or a bedside reading nook.
What are the advantages of a hardwired wall lamp compared to a plug-in version?
A hardwired lighting fixture offers a cleaner, more integrated look because the electrical components are housed directly within the wall, eliminating exposed cords. This creates a permanent, high-end "built-in" appearance that is ideal for formal entryways, primary bedrooms, or flanking a fireplace. Because this model requires connection to your home's electrical system, we recommend professional installation by a licensed electrician.
