The piece
Drop-Forged Brass · Milk Glass · Transitional Bath Sconce
A short-arm wall sconce in the language of classic American bathroom and dressing-room lighting — a stepped-medallion backplate, a turned brass arm with bell detail, and a frosted milk-glass dome shade casting soft diffused light. The body is drop-forged from sheet brass for substance and longevity, then plated and finished by hand.
The milk-glass dome diffuses light evenly without glare, ideal for vanity mirrors and grooming spaces. Available in five finishes — Polished Brass, Matte Black, Chrome, Polished Nickel, and White — and in single, double, or triple-head configurations for vanities of every width. Suited to powder rooms, primary bath vanities, hallway pairs, and dressing rooms in traditional, transitional, and Hollywood Regency interiors.

Soft matte black — modern and high-contrast bathrooms with marble or stone.

White
Clean satin white — disappears into pale walls for a quieter installation.
Drop-forged brass & hand-finished plating. The body is forged from sheet brass and finished by hand — minor variation in plating tone is part of the artisanal character. Each milk-glass dome is mouth-blown and may carry subtle shape and wall-thickness differences typical of hand-blown glass.

FAQ
How do I pick between 1, 2, and 3 heads? +
For a vanity under 24″ wide, the 1-head (centered above the mirror) works best. For 24–48″ vanities, the 2-head (∅ 14″ bar) — centered above the basin. For 48–72″ double vanities, the 3-head (∅ 18.5″ bar) — or a pair of single-heads flanking each mirror. Confirm scale against your vanity layout.
Is the Cornice sconce dimmable? +
Yes, with the right bulb. Each head takes an E14 candelabra-base bulb. Install dimmable LED candle bulbs on a TRIAC wall dimmer and the sconce dims smoothly. Warm white 2700K–3000K is recommended for flattering grooming light.
Can I use it in a bathroom over a shower? +
The Chart is suitable for general bathroom installations away from direct shower spray — for example over a vanity, mirror, or in a powder room. Avoid placing it directly above a shower or tub where steam and water spray make sustained contact. For wet-zone installations, please contact us.
Which finish should I pick? +
Polished Brass suits warm transitional and traditional baths with cream or wood tones. Matte Black anchors modern, marble-and-stone bathrooms. Chrome reads cool and modern; Polished Nickel is warmer than chrome and pairs well with cream marble. White disappears into pale walls for a quieter installation.
Why drop-forged brass instead of cast or spun? +
Drop forging compresses sheet brass under high pressure to produce a denser, stronger body than cast or spun alternatives — better at holding plating long-term and less prone to dents. The trade-off is more weight and higher production cost, which is why drop-forged brass is the standard for premium American bathroom sconces.
Care & delivery
Looking after it
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
Who makes it
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Delivery
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
Returns
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Damaged or faulty on arrival
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Installation
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
The collection
Alabaster
Lighting cut from alabaster, a translucent stone that glows from within when lit rather than simply reflecting light off its surface.
